REACHING

i talked to a friend of mine having such a hard time right now. he wanted someone to hold. just hold him. i wanted to teach this boy how to hold himself. ...and that it can be done. ...and that it's good!

but then i thought about how good it can feel to need that human interaction. that reaching out can feel so much better than being self reliant.

so i told him he was beautiful, and that everything would be okay.

coz it will be.
