Wow! I got to virtually speak with approximately 30,000 library kids & teachers via First Book and The LEGO Group 🥹 Thank you for giving this neurodivergent librarian an opportunity to say it’s okay to not be okay. The library is for everyone. You’re never too old to play. We all have a story ;

You are not a burden, you are enough. Friends help friends. “Friends would rather see you messy and alive than not here at all.” 💚

Love my friends, being released from the hospital made me all the more thankful for them. Being home is a relief, but also a lot. It's okay to not okay AND it's mentionable & manageable to say, "I feel like a burden."
Do you ever feel like a burden? Lean on these words by Jazz Thornton: "You are not a burden, because you belong. To you, the person who is reading this right now: you belong. You may have a burden, but you are not a burden."
Friends help friends. Victoriously messy and alive
