Just as they reach the door, and as David steps out, Mia turns and looks back at Sebastian. He looks at her.

Their eyes lock.

A hint of a tear in both… And, ever so subtly, for just a fleeting second, Mia smiles.

It’s the kind of smile you could miss if you blinked – but it’s enough to signal to Sebastian that she recognized the melody he played, and that she still remembers it, and still thinks of it to this day…

Then she walks out the door.

Shout out to my Arabic teacher that looked at us yesterday mid-lesson and said, “I’m worried. You all look exhausted and depressed.”

Of we were all like, “Oh yeah we’re dead inside, you haven’t noticed?”

And he snapped shut the textbook, threw up his hands and said, “That’s not healthy! No more vocab! Time for dancing!”

And he taught us a dance from Iraq and we danced instead of doing vocab. We didn’t stop dancing until he saw all of us laughing and was satisfied that we were all feeling better. It was perhaps the coolest, most kind-hearted thing I’ve ever seen a college instructor do.

“My patients tell me about their experiences.  But I can’t tell them about mine.  It’s frustrating.  Like the connection is so close.  Like we could be friends in different circumstances.  But it’s impossible.  I have a role to fill.  The therapist’s role is to hear.  To listen.  To help without asking.  To understand my patients’ problems, but to control my emotional response.  So I can’t tell them what I’ve been through.  I can’t tell them that I have no close relationships.  I can’t tell them that my mother didn’t want me.  That she abused me with hands and words.  That she was never happy that I existed.  As a child I was kept hidden from the outside world.  I couldn’t speak of my experiences.  I couldn’t express my emotions.  If it wasn’t for the church, I would not have survived.  The Bible was the first place I ever heard: ‘It’s good that you are alive.’  These are words that every child needs to hear.  If you go too long without hearing them, things get very dark.  And I didn’t hear them until I was seventeen.  Even today I’m constantly fighting the temptation to be alone.  It’s so difficult for me to form friendships.  I must challenge myself to trust people: that they won’t hurt me, that they won’t make fun of me, that they like spending time with me.  Because if I don’t keep fighting, I’ll spend all my time alone.  It’s so comfortable to be alone.  To become lost.  And to lose the will to live.” (Berlin, Germany)

“My wife gave me our son while she’s at a doctor appointment, so I have the chance to watch him for a little bit.  I’m going to bring him to lunch at the office and introduce him to my colleagues for the first time.  I’m sure some of them won’t care, but I’m excited about it.  It’s like my two worlds are coming together.  Being a father is a huge part of who I am right now.  And my colleagues are the people I spend the most time with.  I’m excited for them to see why I’m so happy to go home every day.” (Berlin, Germany)

it’s okay to cry. cry as much as you need. pick yourself up. get a glass of cold water, and drink it. fill it up again and drink it all. crying dehydrates you faster than the goddamn Sahara. take a hot shower. the water will feel like a hug. change your clothes. wear something you feel nice in. it can be just sweats and that old hoodie you’ve had for years, or an entire tuxedo, or those stupid heart boxers you bought as a joke, or a fucking captain america suit. whatever you want. dim the lights. close the curtains. turn off your phone. grab some warm tea or coffee or cocoa, and get a blanket. watch your favourite movie, or that show you can recite from memory. go to bed early and sleep for as long as you need. it’s okay to take a day for yourself. it isn’t selfish, and you truly do deserve it. everything will be brighter in the morning.

The version of you right now is deserving of love. Not you two years ago when you had more of your shit together, or the five years later version where you’ll surely be thriving. The version of you right now. The one that might just be okay, or is really struggling, or is bored and unproductive. That version deserves love. Having trouble accepting this is fine, but actively denying it is not. Your value is intrinsic, and finding confidence in that is mandatory.

Some shit just not for you.. u gotta learn to accept that
