They are; damn onion ninjas. I can count on one hand the people who make me feel 'normal'. I sincerely hope that you have at least one person in your life who makes you feel this way, fellow Panda <3

    When you dive into their comics, it’s hard to miss how the dinosaurs seem to reflect a quiet struggle with mental health challenges. They acknowledge these struggles and work toward living with them, rather than against them. According to the creators, James Stewart and K Roméy, this interpretation isn’t far from the truth.

    Why go out and drink like 10 litres of beer at a party and get the worst hang over later, instead of just sleeping at home?

    As an American, I can't quantify how much beer that is but I know how many 2 liters of soda that would be and holy s**t that's a lot of beer.

    They explained that many people face significant difficulties before identifying the root cause of their mental health issues. Once a diagnosis is made, the journey doesn’t necessarily end—it evolves. Treatment and self-care can make life more manageable, but mental health remains a constant part of one’s life. For many, the process of understanding and making sense of their emotions becomes deeply personal and transformative.

    My wife doesn't totally realize yet why I like giving her back rubs, but she's catching on.

    The duo also shared that much of their work centers around the importance of relationships. While they acknowledge the role of medical treatments and therapies, they believe the support of close friends and family is vital for managing mental health. This perspective shapes the heart of their comics, where themes of connection, empathy, and care often shine through. For them, this focus isn’t just a recurring element—it’s the foundation of most, if not all, of their storytelling. Their work reminds readers of the value of having a strong support system, especially when dealing with life’s challenges.

    It's just a thing that i have felt personally, that people who are too similar to each other don't generally have long term relationships. It's okay upto friendship but such relationships don't last long as issues crop up that neither of them can solve. Instead people with opposite personalities generally have longer and healtheir relationships as they can make up where the other is lacking.

    I need a shoulder to cry on about the fact that work is something we do to live, yet no amount of it will ever provide the necessary resources or time leftover to live our real lives.

    I know a way. It takes both easy and hard work, but more than anything, it takes a real hunger to reach a goal. Reaching that goal has to be something you can't live without.
