Day 22: December, darkest month of the year for me. A lot struggle with suicidal thoughts. It's stifling. You're surrounded by so many who don't want to let go. Yet, holding on means being dragged back down by your demons, living between drowning and gasping for life.

This week's TMMS! Looks like poor Suki was trying to beat the hiccups by stifling it, but with nowhere to go, the balloon's magic had to do something! XD A massive fatty blimped up and flying around the house isn't good for the infrastructure she's in, to be sure! Enjoy!
