It's gonna be okay.
Keep shining, friend.
This is a stressful week for a lot of us and that’s probably why this came out of me when I turned off the world and stopped to draw…
Normally I alway write words on every drawing but I don’t have them for this doodle yet. What I do have though is the knowledge that even though the future is a place we can never see clearly, so many of you hold a light up in the world…so many of you are a light in this world. We may not be able to see what comes ahead but I know that no matter what, I’m here with you…around a flickering candle that will continue to shine. And I know that when my candle goes out you’ll lend me your flame…and vice versa. That’s how hope grows. That’s how kindness spreads.
Thank you for shining in a world that sometimes appears dark. It may seem such a small ember, but it glows like a lighthouse in the world, reminding us that we are so very far from being alone.
I super crazy love you,

So, a month ago I published my first piece in The NY Times. I hadn’t written for over two decades and then I picked up “Let’s Pretend this Never Happened.” I fell in love your writing and saw myself in you. So, I started writing a sentence here, a sentence there, until they became paragraphs and finally full pieces of my heart that I started sharing with the world. YOU were and are a shining light for me- from a disabled, autistic, queer writer. 💙💙
This gorgeousl drawing and this beautiful message are exactly what I needed on this day. 💙 Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊 🙏🥰
