the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.

[ID: a paint and colored pencil illustration of a seated, sun-faced, leonine creature on a black background. The creature is blue, with yellow stars on its fur and a many-pronged tail. It has one paw raised and is grinning down at a circle of red imps that are dancing around a bonfire. Outside of the light of the bonfire, there are myriad creatures outlined in blue, (including a human skeleton, a dragon-like creature, and a fish), white snowflakes, and small holly sprigs. Above the sun-creature's head, red text reads "Dancing through the longest night".]
