Comic start with the 1st panel, Rona sitting at a desk drawing, an anonymous person standing beside them. The anon says, "But Rona, isn't making art and comics about your trauma defining you with said trauma when you said you don't have to be defined by it?"
2nd panel: Rona stops to reply, saying, "See, I've already thought about that and came to this conclusion..."
1st panel: Rona is laying down on their side, holding their head as darkness creeps in around them. The text reads, "It can be argued, I'm aware, but me making art and talking about it is allowing myself to speak about it instead of holding it all in to haunt me."
2nd panel: Rona is seen standing with a dark bar over their eyes. The text reads, "If my art was only about my trauma and I believed all of my art had to be dedicated to it and only it, then it can be seen as making my trauma define me.*" with a smaller faint text paragraph just underneath the panel continuing with the "*" that reads, "And honestly, you're not bad for this. We all have our complex journeys and I'm not about to judge. So long as you're not out to hurt yourself or anyone else, you do you."
Bottom panel: Rona seems to have snapped out of their mood, looking mildly surprised. The text above them reads, "But it's not."
In which I allow myself to truly do whatever I want, without guilting myself [1/4]
