Friday Feature: "Not Too Much" – For the Ones Who Feel Like a Burden

Delfino floated gently beside Slothy, who looked unusually withdrawn.

Delfino: “You’ve been quieter lately… something up?”

Slothy: “I just… didn’t want to be too much. Too emotional, too needy, too messy.”

Delfino: “Who told you that you were too much?”

Slothy: “No one really. But I’ve felt it—like my feelings might overwhelm people.”

Delfino: “Listen to me. You are not too much. You’re just enough. The world made you think shrinking is polite. But you’re allowed to take up space.”

Slothy: “Even when I cry at weird hours and overthink everything?”

Delfino: “Especially then. You’re not a burden. You’re a person.”
