"The Strength in Weakness" Comic - Chapter 1 - "Observations and Obligations"

Part 18

And that's a wrap. :) I told you guys it would end happy, you just had to wait for a bit. XD

I am very excited to continue with this comic series-- there's a whole script written out for many more chapters like this to come. The next will be centered around a certain pb and j duo. ;) But for now, I am going to take a little break from comic making just to focus on some other projects/life things happening. (Like working on the official SIW theme song AAA). So I'll see you guys later. :)

Never stop speaking truth in your heart, and never let your past win. <3

"The Strength in Weakness" Comic - Chapter 1 - "Observations and Obligations"

Part 14

One of the most powerful phrases I have ever used when experiencing anxiety/panic attacks is "That was THEN. This is NOW." It helps your mind find safety in the present by reminding it that you're NO LONGER in your past; a definitive fact used to bring your mind out of its spiral.

Compared to Leo, whom is the leader and medic of his team, Raphael is the strategist. He is the one who is able to quiet his mind and use his powerful will to focus on what's happening in the present. So he's far more equipped and used to snapping his mind back into the present than his oldest, anxiety-ridden brother.

Let the healing begin. ~

Out of all leo's rules mentioned in the chapter which one will raph most likely break

So far?...

He's already broken at least three. At the moment, Raphael is keeping Leo's focus on himself instead of his medic-bound duties, so for now, the fiery sibling has a chance of narrowly escaping his oldest brother's wrath.

We'll see how long that lasts. ;)

Wow. Here comes 2026.

... I am not sure if I should be excited anymore. XD I mean-- there are many things that I am hoping to see this coming year. My best friend getting proposed to and married-- and maybe even my older sister getting engaged too... But I dunno... Ever since Covid, a new year just marks room for disaster more than delight. I want to celebrate. But it's just becoming more difficult to.

But then I remember. I remember the past year and all that happened in it; some light... but also a lot of darkness. There was joy, loss, anger, sadness, pain, and thankfulness all rolled into one confusing ball. XD But through it all-- every tear and wince and shout of anger-- God remained good. Through it all, God pulled me and my family and friends through. Through it all...

God remained to be the Light in the dark. He never gave up on me. He never left me to fight the battles myself. He brought friends, mutuals, and family members to sharpen and encourage me and give me the will power to push on. He didn't take away the pain... He gave me the strength to bear it.

So... even if this coming year brings more pain... more sadness... more anger and mourning... Even if it becomes so dark I can't see the path before me...

Bring it on. Because God is enough, and that will never change. No matter what.

2026... Let's do this thing.
