When you’re called “a bit much”

One of my brothers always describes me as ‘extra’ and I’ve never really known what to do with that label (except be mildly offended?)

But then I saw this poem on @swissmiss yesterday and thought: yes! This is exactly the flavour of extra I am (and I want to be).

I sent it to him and he said: “Haha. That’s kinda adorable. And yes, that is what I mean.”

So here’s to a week of being extra, and a bit much, and finding those slices of joy – no matter how thin they are, and how much the world wants to crowd them out.
