The day I was a hobbit and brought joy

Wishing everyone a cheery start of the week!

It was a delight, seeing people walk by glass walls of the shiny startup space
and do a double-take on the hobbit at her standing desk.
Then, the pure childlike glee in their eyes.
I think we need more of that,
some days more than others.

There was a pop culture festival on-campus where I work, so I came as a hobbit. The only other staff who came dressed up were the department running the festival.
Does that make me odd?
I think it's the world that's odd.
We are one community, it seemed logical when I made my plans.

You see, my default view is a world free of walls and that's what I continue to fight for. So I made some space invader chocolates and rocked my hairy feet.

Hi, I'm Lizette.
I bring joy.
I am crafty.
I am authentic.
I am also sometimes a halfling.
