I nearly cried because someone was patient

Dear Delyara, That’s how low my emotional threshold was today. Someone was patient with me — not in a dramatic rescue way, just in a normal human way — and I had that awful, immediate feeling of almost crying because the softness reached somewhere in me that has been underfed for too long. I smiled. I said thank you. I carried on. But inside, the moment stayed. I think when life has felt too sharp for too long, patience starts to feel like luxury.
