@Candace, you’re doing the best you can. Something my therapist told me: No one else is in your head. Letting yourself feel emotions, without judgment, helps you work through them and coming out on the other side. It’s okay to recognize that you’re having a tough time, too, even if… Read More

No thank you!! I’d have freaked out. I guess it’s good they didn’t cause panic for other passengers, but what if it WAS a big deal?!

Iron Giant! It’s such a good representation of people fearing what they don’t understand, how we can make choices, and how one person (even a child) can make a difference. I cry every time I watch it.
