Her Words

You’ve been awfully quiet this whole time. Mellow out a little, I don’t bite! Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. Just wondering is all. …This isn’t really about social skills, is it? I can’t promise you’ll ever get through whatever’s going on in your life. But I can promise you’re strong enough to handle it. And you know, sometimes things don’t really heal all the way. It’s ugly, it leaves permanent marks. Objectively speaking, it never really gets any better. But every time you get up in the morning, think of it as your heart getting a little stronger. Trust yourself, you’ll be okay.
