Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Seriously though? I disagree.
I mean, I am in this place right now, but I remember how it felt to meditate long ago: it's not about stopping the shit in your head, it's about letting it all out (edit: I mean, letting the thoughts happen, letting them pass). And feeling the absolute opposite of empty afterwards. That makes me hopeful. Maybe I can gather enough self-discipline to start meditating again.
There's all different kinds of meditation tho... If I try to "let it out" I tend to spiral, so for cases like that there are practices that help you redirect the thoughts. In other practices yes, you do confront them, often checking in for guidance by someone experienced. In other practices you try to think about them without any "ego / identity". etc.
