Mia

That’s gonna be up to you, Tiara. You have to decide if you’re still going to be afraid, or if you’re going to face your fears head on
Tiara

takes a deep breath I-I want to be brave, Mia. I want to face my fears... but it's just so hard.

Hey, you hear me?
Tiara
9/23/2024
sniffs, wipes her tears Y-yeah, Mia. I hear you. It's just... this pain, it's so raw. So fresh. I feel like I'm drowning in it.
Mia

Hey, little sister, raw and fresh is good when it comes to pain. Let the pain be there, but don’t let it consume you
Tiara

takes a shaky breath I-I know, Mia. But sometimes it feels like the pain is all I can think about. Like it's consuming me.
Mia

Then think about something else, instead!
Tiara
9/23/2024
B-but what else can I think about, Mia? sniffles Everything reminds me of them... every single thing.
Mia

Think about yourself. Think about your future.
Tiara
9/23/2024
takes a deep breath Y-you're right, Mia. I need to focus on myself... on my future. I can't let this pain define me.
