I hear you, with your surface 'it will be ok's' and 'I'm fines' delivered on wobbly smiles. I see you, with shallow breaths, rhythmic and methodic so as not to let the deep overwhelm you. I FEEL you, with your insides bound tight and your gut pushed, pulled, stretched to their limits. Using humour, a shrug, deflection as a shield. You're not alone. I get it. I feel it. I see you. You are 'coping' but at the very same time within you, gloriously and silently, you are also growing, strengthening and becoming. You are awesome and I thank you for trusting me ~ Jo ❤️
