This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that I’ve wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.
A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said “absolutely not”. Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!
Many people have the initial instinct of “nope” when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook “different” animals.
All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a “different” pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.
Don’t dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat that’s missing an eye and see what he’s all about!

A little romantic fantasy of mine
It's been two or three years down the road from now, and I am dancing with the love of my life, all alone with quiet music in the background, we just look at each other and giggle, and hold each other.
And in the low light, with her, I feel loved, I tell her that I always thought, through my teenage years, that I wouldn't find my someone, that I would always be uncomfortable. Then I smile at her and wave it away, because that was a while ago, now I feel like I belong with someone, and she loves me too.
She kisses me and reassures me that I will always be loved, even when we dont like each other.
We smile, and the little moments like these, never end.
It’s 100% normal to miss your trauma and want the suffering back, whether it’s for a few minutes, a few hours, days, weeks. You know who that person is, and when you start to heal and cope, you’re changing into a person you don’t know yet. The unknown is scary. This is normal, I promise you. Keep pushing through it, you’ll get used to this new you soon enough if you just keep on trying.
gentle reminder: you are very capable and I’m excited for your future
slightly less gentle reminder: you do have to work for it
I’m trying to prove a point to most adults that don’t understand the impact they can make in young people’s lifes.
It gives me good vibes :3

use your wheelchair, use your walker, use your cane, use your scooter, bring your service animal, whatever you need to use, use it. do not force yourself to dress up like an abled person and do not let anyone force you. be who you are, do what helps you. even if it makes your family or whoever you are spending the day with uncomfortable. if they are uncomfortable acknowledging that disability exists, they do not deserve to be comfortable.
They can flip off this country all they want considering the fact it was theirs first.
I dont use this blog, go to old-soil-king for my rancid garbage
