The Calm
She walked over to the edge of the rooftop of the 15-story apartment complex where she lived. It was really dark, but I guess that’s the distinguishing feature of night. The stars above shone brighter today, right? Or she hadn’t been out much to notice their comparative brightness anyways. There was barely any movement below.

My Experience in the Airport as a Sunflower Lanyard Wearer. Top Story - September 2023.
A sunflower lanyard indicates in a subtle way that the wearer has an invisible disability, something that is unseen, for example, autism, anxiety, or in my case, schizophrenia. When the opportunity arose for me to go to New York, I was immediately concerned about how I would handle the travel aspect of it, specifically the airports. Airports had always made me feel stressed and nervous but the biggest difference in this trip is that I would be taking it alone. I wasn’t sure this was even something I was capable of.

It seems that most of us want to make friends, but find it difficult, as revealed by a Pew Research Center study which found that 72% of adults say it is 'somewhat' or 'very important' to have close friends, but only 44% say it is easy to make new friends.

Others who are introverted may find it more difficult to put themselves out there.

Why Random Acts Of Kindness Are So Powerful
I was at a donut shop the other day and the lady behind the counter gave me some free donuts, just because. I was shocked by the sudden act, but felt super stoked that I got free donuts. When I left the donut shop and got into my car, I felt something coming down my face and noticed that I started tearing up over free donuts.
