Delusion
To me, happiness feels like safety. It feels like hot coffee in the morning. Like those hugs your dad gives you after you haven’t seen him in a while. The ones that feel warm and firm, just shy of crushing you, squeezing out every bit of fear, doubt, and scarcity. The hugs that make you feel like you can dream.
Happiness feels like when you start something new. Where it’s okay to be vulnerable. Where it’s okay to admit you don’t know something. Where there are no expectations—a long dirt road stretching out in front of you leading to adventure and promise.
Happiness feels like having love reciprocated without needing to ask. It feels like breakfast in bed, chicken noodle soup, walks in the park, playing in the rain.
But funnily enough, in order to achieve happiness, you need to experience insecurity, scarcity, fear, etc.—all those emotions and experiences that seem to tear us apart.
It’s part of life.
To live in this world, we need to experience polarities. We need to understand the opposites of each concept to truly understand the nuance of its spectrum.
I find it interesting that, in order to navigate the extremes and everything in between, we need to display characteristics akin to psychosis just to smile.

For the three sentence fic prompt: 'shiny' :D
It was pretty well established that Parker loved two things: diamonds, and her boys. Neither Hardison nor Eliot would ever dare to ask in what order. When Parker gave them each a ring set with dozens of tiny diamonds from her own collection, they knew they'd never have to.

lighthearted.
if this comic resonated with you, please consider donating to this palestinian escape fund (vetted by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein) as it is less than $7,000 away from it's goal.
i turn 24 today. To celebrate, I made this comic to be a spiritual successor to lead balloon, a comic in which I talked about the darkest period of my life so far.
A lot has changed since my 23rd birthday and this one. My priorities have shifted a lot, in ways that I think are mostly good. But i think the best part about today is that suicide has gone back to being a far away notion. I'm really lucky, and I'm grateful for that.
