There's all the bright lights and noise of Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and Labor Day, or even the beach. There are so many social expectations we struggle with. And the heat itself can be overwhelming. Does anyone else find summer heat to be completely draining? It's so much mental and emotional labor...

Oh dear, I'm so sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings!! It's so hard to understand other people's feelings. One of the hardest parts of being ND.

You can still take responsibility for being an ass even if you didn’t realise it immediately. Don’t double down and blame the victim.
