Living with this feeling
Avery walks into the break room wearing bright yellow shoes and carrying grocery store cupcakes because it is ‘almost Friday.’ The office has been tense for weeks. Nobody needs forced positivity, so Avery does not demand smiles. The cupcakes simply sit beside a note: Take one. You made it through something today. By noon, someone adds a doodle to the note.
