## Resource

We finally watched Love, Simon (2018) and gave it our first-ever perfect score, 9 of 9 on the Stitch Count! This week we're curling up with the story of a kid counting down the days to graduation with one big secret, a string of anonymous emails that turn into something like falling in love, and a Ferris wheel ending that had us both tearing up. We talk about what it means to live in a closet that's also a kind of protection, the jokes that teach you to hide before you even know you're hiding, and what it feels like when the people who love you finally just... see you. It's a sweet movie, maybe even a little too sweet at times, but it earns its feelings honestly. And sometimes that's exactly what we need, a story that doesn't have to hurt to mean something. Grab your blanket and join us for Love, Simon, a perfect 9 of 9 Stitch Count score, and a long talk about the courage it takes to walk forward after coming out.
