Prompt 140
“I think you’re okay.”
“How in the world is ANY of this okay??? My life is over! Everything has fallen apart and I can’t possibly get out of this hole! I’m screwed! Done for! Ruined!! How much more do I have to spell it out for you?? Everything is destroyed and there’s nothing I can do to fix it!”
They grab their hands, bringing their faces abruptly close. “Hey, look at me. I think… you’re okay. Got it?” They nod slowly, waiting for the other person to nod with them, their shoulders easing slightly, before they continue, “You are alright. It’s not as bad as you think. We are fine and we will continue to be fine. So breathe, and continue doing just what you’ve been doing. Keep it steady. You’re okay. You’ve got this.”
