Most days i struggle to believe this. But the reminder is appreciated.

Joe Vasquez

ESPECIALLY the people who seem like they do!

There’s a line from “The Sunscreen Song” that I’ve always liked that kinda goes along with this: “Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.”

Aaron Pearson

Hey right back at you girl. You are amazing and I hope your doing well. I know you have lots of support, but you know I'm here for you too.

Beginning Pear

Sweet words. I may need to look back at this from time to time.

Chris Osborne

Thanks. I needed this today.

CanDude

Thanks, Ellen ❤️. I needed this reminder, especially at this time of year. The TV commercials really over-estimate my holiday budget and then make me feel inadequate for Not Buying Stuff (tm). Your kids and husband got lucky with you 🥰

William Harris

Lol. I see your daughter being a comedian someday.

FlamingoTeam7

I've been wrestling with this as of late. I do appreciate the kind words tho. 🙂

Daryl Janisch

How do I buy this as a postcard/poster? My niece needs to hear this...

Jon Barker

And do you do this for yourself, hmm? Be honest now, your kids will tell on you anyway 😅

Anthony Cermak

I agree, I mean, I've been working a lot lately to get some things for myself, but it's not the things themselves that made me happy, it's the fact that, ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be able to have things I wanted from working hard, growing up poor washing exactly the best, but now I have the newest consoles and everything, it's not the things themselves that make me happy, but knowing that hey, I did something I wanted as a kid, that makes me proud of myself. Sometimes, ya gotta go back and give your inner child something they'd be proud of, ya know?

Dale Thomas

Been at it 45 years and am still working on it. That is ok, life is fluid and having it all figured out would be boring. Set reachable goals, don't worry about the neighbors, just enjoy the ride with family (blood or found, doesn't matter) taking pleasure in the little things.

Rhonda

Thanks 😊 Also, that last panel cracked me up🤣

Leland Eidson

Love this and thank you. "Be kinder to yourself" is something I often tell my loved ones. Life is hard, there's no reason to make it harder by tearing yourself down.

John Phillips

Why you trying to make me cry on my drive to work? ♥️ Love this and you for making it.

Dark Wringer

Thanks, Mama Ellen 💙

Doc Furan

I have been struggling with this exact thing! Thank you ☺️ 💚

BDJace

Thanks Mommy~

Eric Woodley

OK that last panel is absolutely me with my daughter.... Even though she is on her own and has started a family. Feels weird being a grandpa this young, but I shall do this to my grandkids as well. BWA HAHAHA

Tim

I just got a nasty performance rating at work, and will probably be laid off or quit soon. This made me feel better. Thanks

Rhett Desormeaux

Thank you. At 27, I'm always self-doubting a lot about things and where I am in life so this means a lot to hear 😁

Kurdt

Thank you, I needed this this morning! Loving the positive vibes around here!

You are more than your job. My husband got laid off right when we first started dating. He was devastated...didn't know what to do. Then he got a much better job and just kept moving up and up! Sometimes it's better to leave a place

pizzacakecomic

Lol my daughter had to lecture me yesterday because she felt I wasn't being kind to myself so I definitely need to listen to my own advice

pizzacakecomic

And I'm lucky to have them too! And to have you all here ❤️❤️ my patreon has become my happy place filled with wonderful people!!

pizzacakecomic

It's easier said than done I know, I made this partially for me too as it feels impossible some days to accept myself as is. Our culture does not want us to be happy with ourselves because it's not profitable or easy to manipulate. Maybe if we weren't constantly bombarded with fake images of what we "should" be like than we'd feel more at peace

SynysterCola

Ya know, that was a much needed affirmation. Thanks Ellen :)

pizzacakecomic

27!! You're so YOUNG! enjoy it, there's no time limit to deciding what you wanna do and nothing that says you can't change it! You're doing great just surviving every day ❤️❤️

Buster Chaos

You’re just the best!

Eric

🤣 no kids myself, so I can only enjoy inflicting this kind of embarassment vicariously

Sw33tZmbieJesus

I live for doing exactly this to my kids. I get the exact same response 😆😊

Rhett Desormeaux

For someone who often feels like he's not doing enough and/or isn't doing the right thing compard to everyone else, can't tell you how much this means to hear❤️

Kaethos

These expressions are especially cute, nice work!

Dean Giberson

Altruism is the basis of civilization. Be kind to those in your community.

Reggie Stout

27, starting your "Saturn cycle" Rhett. Good time to forget the self-doubt and Fresh Start.

Shiba Sama

I love being able to find horny content and positive messages in a single place. #blessed

Madison Finley

Aw, needed this reminder, thank you!

Spartan042

Thank you for this. I very much needed it after this week.

Dan McCollum

A few years ago i was talking to my bestfriend about just this. He was being a bit anxsty, wondering why people in his home town seemed to take him seriously and listen to his advice when, to his mind, he was a guy in his early 30s, without a college degree, who worked in a warehouse. I asked him if he remembered those adults, when we were kids, who seemed to have it all put together, who you could go to for advice, or lean on in times of trouble. He said, "of course!" "Yeah," I said, "I think that's us now." "But" he said "We don't have it together AT ALL!" "Nope." I agreed, "But thsts a secret. I don't think they did either. At all. It's just they faked it better than others. And they cared about people and were willing to play that role for us, because it was important." There was dead silence on the phone for a few seconds before said bestfriend tapped into his inner Luke Skywalker and moaned "Nooooooo!!!! That's IMPOSSIBLE!!!!" But it's why I've learned not to compare myself with others (too much). Yeah, I wish I was married with kids right now (badly!!!!!!). But none of us REALLY have it put together. We're all just doing the best we can and flailing around much of the time. And thsts scary. But also kinda heartwarming too.

John Maher

I really appreciate this! That bit about the pressure to constantly be more and do more is so real. I'll keep that in mind, and I wish you and your family all the best as well!
