So this arrived today…along with some snow. <3 <3
Couldn’t have asked for better timing.
I might have shed a few tears when this arrived, i love this story so so much and i was embarrassingly happy when i saw this beautiful little book.
When i was 15 i had pretty much the exact same christmas as Charlie did (except for a wonderfully supportive boyfriend, lol ) due to the same issues he is facing and when i first read This Winter my mind was blown how much i could relate to a character in so many ways. i will never be able to articulate how healing it is to see him being so loved and cared for by Nick and Tori and how sensitively the series presented both EDs and OCD. i have never ever felt so seen and i wish everybody had their own Nick Nelson while dealing with mental illness (or you know, actually, in general i wish everybody had a relationship like theirs. <3 <3 )
I never thought i could forgive my 15 year old self for making that particular christmas so difficult for everyone but honestly Heartstopper helped me view my own story in a very different light.
