I didn’t want advice tonight

Dear Delyara, I didn’t want advice tonight. I wanted witness. I wanted someone to let my feelings exist without rushing to improve them. Someone to sit near the truth and not turn it into a practical project. Someone to understand that not every emotion is a problem to solve quickly enough for conversation to stay comfortable. I know people mean well when they try to fix. I just wish they understood how much healing there is in being allowed to feel without being managed.
