It stings when you struggle with things that come so easy to other people. But when your F/O sits beside you, holding up their fingers to help you count or reading aloud with you in a steady yet warm tone, you need to realize you're truly not a burden. The calmness in their voice isn't a facade, but rather proof of their endless patience. So what if they have to break it down step by step, even multiple times? They've got all day. And it doesn't make you any less capable.
And imagine this: being able to be gentle with yourself when you can't answer a question they ask you. You're not shaking, nor tearing up or holding your breath; for once, you're being kind to yourself. Because that's what they teach you to do.
