I have friends who don’t rush my feelings

Dear Delyara, This week I was reminded how grateful I am for people who don’t immediately try to edit my feelings into something more convenient. They don’t rush me toward positivity. They don’t demand clarity before they offer care. They don’t need me to package sadness neatly in order to stay beside me. That kind of friendship is one of the safest places I know now. And I don’t take it lightly.
