See that nut? It’s me. I cracked. No more smooth, beautifully green exterior or rough hard shell. Nope, 
I’m cracked. WIDE OPEN.

I guess parenting teens and young adults, working with mental illness, and living in crazy times, will do that to a person-honestly, I didn’t stand a chance!

Now, I’m left with the remnant of this rigid encasement and unanswered questions, like,
“What to pair with this bitter taste?” and, 
“Where is the peace and joy in this vacillating topography?”

I’m on a journey to figure out how to navigate my new exposure.

So…, that’s me…, in…, well…, a nutshell!
