“In my life, I have received this big, engulfing, no-questions-asked love. From old church ladies who winced at my blue hair but loved me anyway; from my ‘Do we have to talk about feelings?’ little brother when I was shattered into depressed, weeping shards on the kitchen floor and he sat beside me…I am broken yet beloved. In all the moments when I needed love but didn’t deserve it, hadn’t earned it, couldn’t appreciate it—love enveloped me, a bounty without end.” -Kate Landis, from Stubborn Grace: Faith, Mental Illness, and Demanding a Blessing
