Let's recap the Vehicle Text

Why did the boy build the shelter for Sadness and what did he include inside? For your embracing emotions narrative - you will be choosing one of the following emotions to build a shelter for: Anger. Fear. Jealousy. These emotions are negative and don't feel good to experience but they are valid and normal, just like sadness. Embracing them and accepting them as a normal part of our lives, helps us with our mental wellbeing.
