I want to say that just because I didn't end things on a hopeful note, it doesn't mean that things don't get better. Sometimes the stories we tell are stories of pain, and telling them is just as important as telling stories of hope. Sometimes being told that things will get
better doesn't help; and sometimes it can invalidate what you're feeling, & I want you to know that it's okay to feel that way. It's okay to not believe what other people tell you, but you can trust that these people only want to help, and you can trust that they'll listen to you
if you ever decide to reach out. When people ask if they can rant to me, the first thing I ask is if they want my advice or if they just want to let it out. There's comfort in having someone listen to you, or let you cry, or sit by your side. There's comfort in your presence.
