    During what was one of the worst times in my life, I took a solo vacation to Asheville and Chimney Rock. The people there were some of the most lovely and inviting people I'd ever met. Literally the kindness of strangers and the beauty of that place healed my soul to make it through. It breaks my heart to see that town destroyed.

      Except we’re not destroyed. I made a post about how that kindness you’re describing is more strong than ever. Our physical reality is fucked but our psychological and emotional health is spry.
