This is true. There are so many people who need to see this. You can turn hopeless into happiness when you choose life.
I know it doesn’t always workout for everyone, and I’m not making any judgments about them, but it makes me sad that the marriage ended.
Bored Panda reached out to Brian once again, seeking further insights into his creative process and a deeper understanding of his personal experiences. In a previous interview, the artist mentioned that his comics have resonated with people on a personal level. So, we wanted to know if he could share any stories or messages from his fans that meant a lot to him.
The artist shared, "There was a certain point where the comic almost became therapy to me, I am currently in actual therapy for depression and suicidal thoughts years ago. Been improving myself and how I talked to myself constantly over those years and as I made the comic, it became a way for me to repeat to myself messages that would help me overcome lots of struggles we keep internal... money struggles, depression, and thoughts of giving up.
A lot of these comics will reach people when they are at a low point, just doom scrolling social media, and I will from time to time get messages from people about how a comic helped them. A comic that gets a lot of messages is one about sadness and not just sitting in it and trying to move forward instead of sitting in the muck."
Even if the human isn't getting old, spending as much quality time with your power is important, because they are always gone too soon
Talk about yourself. If you're not a human WTF are you then??

Those always feel good cause you know some people are changing what it is to be a parent in their family and it can be really hard to not be a mirror image of your own parents."
My first husband and I got along much better when we weren't married, and it helped us keep our daughter's life more stable
Never been married but I can only guess the best thing to do is pray 🙏 and move on. Just because one thing in your life died don't mean you have to. 💔🤔🥰♥️
"This study finds that divorce works. The longitudinal evidence in the paper suggests that marital dissolution eventually produces a rise in psychological wellbeing. Both men and women gain, and do so approximately equally. For those couples who take it, the leap into the dark seems to improve their lives" (Gardner, Jonathan; Oswald, Andrew 2005) This is the conclusion from a credible research paper, I figured a more critically acclaimed source was in order. Don't shoot the messenger.
Unhappy parents is the failure.. and not realising we can't always force and choose what brings happiness, or what grows us into sometimes different directions. So many unhappy people in these comments it's a shame
No it just means both of you are selfish bastards :) Divorce is terrible for children.
Not as bad as seeing a parent being abused by the other. When I finally found the strength to kick him out, my kids (6, 13) response was "you should have done it a long time ago."
Load More Replies...My parents got along so much better after their divorce. They still call each other every anniversary, they were at all my events growing up. My stepmom and my mom are good friends. When my grandpa died, my dad was there with condolences. When my dad got diagnosed with cancer, my mom helped at his house and he eventually recovered. They were there for each other. They just sucked as a married couple and because they figured that out they were able to do better with other people.
Load More Replies...Poor death. He gets a bad rep, even though death dosen't kill people, but guides them when they die and helps them.
This was part of the comedy in Billy and Mandy, how everyone in the neighborhood was so damn stupid, except Billy's mom, that they never recognized Grim for what he's is: the town's reaper. I miss that show
Brian makes comics every weekday, and we wanted to know how he stays focused and keeps getting ideas every day. "I am lucky enough to get a 1-hour lunch break at my office and have a mobile tablet," the artist told us. "I started by working out trying to lose weight, and just changed the habit to do something I always wanted to pursue. I started giving myself 15 minutes after I even made some rough comics, and if they were good, I would draw them at night, making them full color.
As the habit became more disciplined, I would eat in 10 minutes and work on drawing comics for 50 minutes. As a father, I didn't always have a ton of time at home, so as I kept drawing on lunch, I eventually had color comics down to a 1-hour block. It is a habit that I am very happy I made time for, and I am very proud that I made it a priority finally in my life."
I actually was friends with a girl who was disappointed to go to Disney. Her parents told her they were going to Washington (I think D.C.), and "surprised" her last minute. Problem was... they had gone to Disney like 4 times before, she was very excited for the change of pace

My parents had me at a point when they weren't very financially stable, so I do remember the few big trips we had way better than the times we couldn't afford them, but as the oldest of 7 I also enjoy being able to see the tiny ones getting to enjoy those things much more often than I was able to. I might not have been able to go to disney world until I was a teenager, but I loved getting to see my little brother get to experience it at an age where he was still young enough to believe he was meeting the real life mickey mouse... and then watch my sister cry because it was a human sized mouse
I hope you brought your wallet cause the rent in hell is... Paid.. With your soul...?
Hell is not a joke. It is very real. People need to understand that if you end up there you will NEVER GET OUT!! Please change your ways now and repent. Ask Jesus for help!! Give your life to Jesus instead of the devil!
I miss playing... I need to find my old characters and then find a campaign... :-/

Valentines Day isn't just for lovers, it's to show those close to you how much you appreciate them ❤
You are your child's first and biggest example in everything. Act like it and they'll be great people
Life isn't that simple. Some parents do everything they can, set a good example and provide structure and love and nurturing, but the kid was born with mental issues and is STILL a nightmare.
Load More Replies...I'd just like to say that one day I woke up and the first thought in my head was "What if Zelda's secretly lesbian" and that's not even the weirdest first thought of a day I've had.
I know some people think certain zelda/link duos are siblings. I love the idea that link just attracts women everywhere and just doesn't ever reciprocate, like an opposite Geralt
Load More Replies...Same! Not very fast, but it's still my favorite thing I've done :)
Load More Replies...Of all the things I wished I could do, running is not one of them. LOL.
What a great sentiment. Some of us have no idea where we're headed. But floundering, and then finding your direction, is always better with someone you love.
Headed is correct. Heading is grammatically correct too but no need to correct. Have a nice day, don't hesitate to check the relevant grammar rule as I just did to know more about English every day ^^
Load More Replies...Listen to the Floaters if you want to float on. That's the name of the song Float On.😉
Did you ever notice how relaxed you felt just floating on your back in the pool? Life should always be that way.

Actually, I have come to believe that all of our past selves are omnipresent and our mission is to adjust things, and ourselves, as we move forward, so that they may all coexist in harmony
Load More Replies...You have no idea what your life will be in 10, 20, 30 years. Be faithful and true to yourself and enjoy the journey.
Was always in expectation that was their core role...
Load More Replies...I disagree with this one, I learn something new every time I see my therapist and there is always something that she is helping me through. Sometimes all she does is ask some pointy questions and that is the help I need, other times she teaches me new coping skills.
BP is too worried about censoring the word kill.
Load More Replies...I thought it was too, and is in yoga, and after researching I think it is actually a difficult one to *draw*, and what we have here is a classic case of PUN
Load More Replies...Um it might be just me but i can't see that happening to a guy like that especially since i myself pretty much look the same.
It's playing on the abysmally absurd trend women are doing now that's basically idolizing serial killers like Ted Bundy, BTK, and Charles Manson. You should have seen the stupid Facebook and Twitter posts when that one "documentary" on Netflix about Jeffrey Dahmer came out. The whole trend was big and bad enough that MatPat did a Film Theory on it
Load More Replies...Yes. I didn't think I'd ever see that, but here we are
Load More Replies...Wtf are they erect as ghosts peeping on living ppl clapping cheeks? Whyyyyyy?
They still won't get the vaccinations. Your choice.My kid has never even had flu. Tried to describe it to him.... Waste of time...😥
My issue is thinking what if I accidently do something illegal. In my line of work, it's possible, even if improbable.
Unless you're talking about negligence, most illegal actions require intention. So if you don't intend to do something illegal u good, unless it's negligence based.
