Yikes! Uploading and backdating an old comic so it fits properly in the chronology gives me a vague, confusing sense of guilt. I originally omitted this one because I suppose it embarrasses me more than most of them – there’s nothing quite so quaint as an old epiphany – but then a certain friend convinced me I should basically just post everything. And so, I am abandoning all quality control and posting EVERYTHING regardless of how good or terrible it is.
It’s a useful exercise to try to figure out why we say “I hate everything”, or “I love verything/everyone”. Sometimes “I hate everything” means “I hate myself”, or “I feel totally alone”; sometimes “I love everyone” means that you don’t know where you end and other people begin. Anyway, the statements are valid starting-places for figuring out how we feel and how we’re thinking.
I thought this was interesting actually, I am going to go consider it in the shower Right Now
