also called the Blue Schnerd
The overthinker who still shows up.
You see the world in a way most people don't, and you're learning, slowly and imperfectly, to love yourself for it. Darlene gets it.
The part of you Darlene carries
Darlene notices everything: the exit nearest the door, the tone under someone's voice, the nineteen ways Tuesday could go sideways. That much noticing takes a lot of energy, and it can tangle into worry fast. But Darlene keeps showing up anyway, one overthought step at a time, which is its own kind of brave. She also always has a tune going, one she hasn't worked up the nerve to sing all the way out loud yet.
Carries: Overthinking
“I've thought of twelve ways this could go wrong. I'm coming anyway.”
What makes this Schnerd
What is your brain doing today?
Darlene gets it. Take one breath. You only have to do the next thing, not every possible thing.
Why Darlene looks this way
Darlene has four heads because four of the blueberries survived, which is why there are four of them and not three or five. Each one hears something different, all at the same time. It's a lot arriving at once, but it also means very little gets past her.
