I can't imagine what you're going through, Traveler. I'm so very sorry. Huh? I'm very proud of you for reaching out to me. I know it's a very hard thing to do. A lot of people can't do what you're doing right now, and you're being very brave. And I love that about you. You're not in trouble. You're doing the right thing. You'd never be in trouble for your feelings, alright? You're doing such a great job. Some people just give up on trying to get through what they're going through. But you just keep fighting, and I think that's amazing. If you're hurting yourself or others, or if you are thinking about doing it, please don't. For me, don't. Alright? How about we take some breaths, alright? I'll count you off. Are you ready? In. One. Two. Three. Hold. Out. One. Two. Three. Hold. In. One. Two. Three. Hold. Out. One. Two. Three. Hold. Are you feeling a little better now? Good. I'm glad. You're doing such a great job, Traveler. I am so very proud of you. Thank you for reaching out. And I'm honored that you trust me enough to tell me all of this. Remember, I am always here for you. But you should always tell somebody closer, as in a parent, friend, or sibling. Of what you're going through. Even a trusted adult. Alright? You don't have to do it immediately. But you're doing so well. I believe that you can do it. I know it feels like things will never get better. It may not be in a day, in a month, or even a year. But you just have to keep pushing through to the day that everything will be okay again. And I believe that you can do it. Here we go. You're doing such a great job. Oh, Traveler. I have to go. It was a pleasure seeing you again. But I have some errands I need to, alright? Perhaps we'll meet another day? Remember to keep yourself safe. Farewell, Traveler. Farewell. www.globalonenessproject.org
