📜 The whole story (transcript)

On grandma's kitchen shelf there is an empty jam jar with a hand-written label: WORRIES — CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT. Before bed you whisper your worry into the jar, and grandma screws the lid on tight, and the worry has to wait there until morning. Worries hate waiting. Most of them are much smaller by breakfast, and quite a few have gone off entirely. The ones that are still there in the morning get talked about over toast, with a grown-up, out loud — because those are the real ones, and real ones are for sharing, never for carrying alone.
