Real Shit Said in Headspace Episode 2:

Dumb Shit

Blue: I’m going to do some dumb shit

Ghost: How dumb?

Blue: *grabs bagels and nutella*

Ghost: Oh! Oh! Oh! Do dumb shit! Do dumb shit! Do dumb shit!

Nightmare, jokingly: Our hosts are trying to kill the body…

Us then: Yeah, for some reason we kinda collectively prefer gluten-free crust pizza. It’s just better, Y’know? Yeah. Only when Blue isn’t fronting though. Of course, pizza itself is something we can’t eat. Makes us sick. And we also just prefer gluten-free cookies. No idea why.

Us now: Goddammit it happened again…*

*referring to us showing obvious signs of something that we didn’t realize were obvious signs until we were outright told we had it (diabetes, being a system, and gluten intolerance)

Day 10: One thing a lot of people don't know about me

I'm diabetic(type 1). No secret, just not something I mention.

Low blood sugar is kind of funny to think about sometimes, it’s almost like a curse. You get to ignore your chronic illness for a little bit and eat without worrying about insulin or carbs. But at the same time your body is slowly shutting down, your brain is starving and you are in a confused, sweaty daze. So while you are enjoying a small moment without the stress of diabetes, you are also actively dying.

Kind of a weird way to look at it I guess

I don't know if it's just me but I find nostalgia in most of my needs ,

My pen its similar to the little bottle and syringe I used to cry over and grew into being able to us it myself

My hearing aids , they are colorful and beautiful and reflect my personality soooooo much

My glasses are a way to see the word for as long as it will let me

So no hate on the new ways to handle the needs but the nostalgia helps make my situation lovable or normal

The comic is almost complete!🍵🖊
