I just love telling people that!
Literature has always allowed me to travel the world and meet people from different backgrounds with a plethora of lessons to impart.
My neurodivergence made it difficult for me to understand other people, but reading stories helped me conceptualize how to stand in someone else's shoes and see the world through their eyes.
(Anyways, here is a beautiful pebble I found on a solo trip to Wicklow, Ireland!)
