Self-sabotage doesn’t always scream. Sometimes, it whispers: “This joy won’t last.” This comic is about that quiet fear that creeps in just when things start going well. You begin to feel confident. Grounded. Hopeful. And then—almost out of habit—your mind asks, “Is this a trap?” “What if I mess it all up?” “Should I brace for impact?” But what if joy isn’t a scam? What if you earned this good feeling by showing up—again and again—even when it was hard? What if you’re not lucky… but worthy? The more I heal, the more I realize: Staying present with joy takes as much courage as enduring pain. You don’t need to overthink your joy. You just need to trust your growth. You got this 🖤
