2018 taqi here to edit my previous pessimistic caption lolll:
so after never reading this comic again and finally reading it, this was a really bittersweet comic?? i guess it's cos i'm 23 now and my friends are all going overseas to study, getting married, having children, and also i have people who were once special in my heart just falling out - you know, typical adulthood life- and wow, this comic brings me back to when i first wrote it at 19 years old, so hopeful and passionate of my dreams. i feel inspired and yet sad at the same time because of how life has played out, it's crazy how as you grow older, a lot of your view of the world really change. I now love this comic way more, it's definitely something else to see a work that I made back when I was more naive and hopeful of the world and my social relationships. Seeing this image especially tugs my heart, just seeing kids who know nothing of adulthood, and seeing the same kids entering adulthood..the fact that luqman went from hating coffee to drinking espresso..wow i was a subtly symbolic artsy asshole at 19, i'm lowkey proud of my younger self for pulling that off LOL
