I didn’t want advice, only warmth

Dear Delyara, There are nights when I don’t want solutions. Tonight is one of them. I don’t need perspective, strategy, reframing, practical steps, or anyone trying to polish my feelings into something more manageable. I want warmth. A witness. A little emotional shelter. A softer room than the one inside my own head. I think people often mistake care for fixing. Sometimes care is just not making someone feel too much for feeling what they feel. That would be enough tonight.
