@Lost_Space_Explorer5 This post couldn't have come at a better time! I think with this time of year, a lot of people have a lot of spare time and it can often be a gift or extremely overwhelming, so being able to have self-care tools at your finger tips can change everything!

@Lost_Space_Explorer5 thanks for this genius post, much needed for the holidays! The safe space thread looks awesome!
