May is Ehlers Danlos syndrome awareness month! Most readers probably already know this, but EDS is what makes Violet so fragile, and it comes with a lot of the other comorbidities that she experiences as well. I love that Rebecca gave those of us who are a little different some representation in a world where so many FMC's are basically superhuman and can survive almost anything without a scratch. I was feeling down because I have needed to use a cane after dislocating my hip in my sleep last week but I had to remind myself that needing support doesn't make you weak. It doesn't make you less. Just like Violet has her saddle, my cane is simply part of my gear.

I always go back to the quote: "Remember, it's only your body that's fragile. You are unbreakable."

If you're feeling down because you might need extra "gear" or might not relate to other characters, remember you're not alone. ❤️

(Edit for grammar/clarity)

I've been trying to find a case similar to these for a while. Every time I find one it seems to be shipped from overseas so I would have to pay tariffs, or it's for a paperwhite. I just want a normal outside with a clear case that magnetizes to the inside. Has anyone seen anything like this? I have found several for the Paperwhite but never a basic. At this point I feel like I will have to make my own to get what I want. I considered one of the 360° detachable ones but I worry about quality, and I kind of want to be able to hide whatever I decorate my clear case with when I'm out because I live in a very small town in the bible belt 😂
