I legit cried at this, Halden. It's so beautifully done, and it hits me really close to home.

Hey. Hugs can be triggering but IF virtual hugs are okay, sending you some.

This hits so close home. I love how emotive the little blob is despite being like a few pixels. Thank you for this. Hope you're in a better space now! Take care :)
