A kingfisher called late at night and I thought it was saying Jesús. Now all I will hear when I hear a Kingfisher, is Jesús.

Bullying leaves scars you can’t
always see. It steals confidence,
joy, and the simple belief that you’re

heavy it can feel. But I’ve also learned
this: being kind to yourself and
others has the power to heal.
