[ID: A digital comic by @akindplace, colored green and pink. The narrator is a stereotypical ghost, with arms poking out of their sheet. The comic begins with them sitting at a desk, staring off into space and thinking, "Recently I've been thinking a lot about this clip that I saw..." There's a flashback of them lounging and watching a video on their phone, and the narration continues, "...of a TED-talk, and basically the guy was saying how when animals are born, the first thing they do is what they need to do, to survive.
"Like fish, they swim." There's a depiction of a life cycle from a roe to a full-grown fish. Following that is a baby giraffe sitting in some grass, and then a slightly older one standing, to accompany the narration, "And baby giraffes can run basically straight after they're born. Because keeping up with the herd is what will keep them safe.
"Anyway, his point was, that as humans..." There's a baby, wrapped up in a blanket with just their head peeking out, crying loudly. "The first thing we do, integral to us surviving, is cry for help. Because it is the most important thing we need. And I keep coming back to that thought when I have to lean on someone."
The ghost calls someone on their phone and asks, "Can you just tell me it's all gonna be ok?" Their friend replies, "Of course it's gonna be ok! It's so fine. You totally got this!" The narration finishes, "It's ok to ask for help. It's our basic instinct. And we're just silly animals, doing what we need to do to survive," with three little hearts at the very bottom. /end ID]
