Athena: wiping tears Why’s life sooo cruel, huh? 😢 Have you ever lost someone you loooove?
There’s nothing you could’ve done, Athena. You weren’t there physically. That’s not your fault.
wipes away her tears You're right, Huntusta. I can't change the past, but I can learn from it.
pauses, takes a deep breath I think it's time for me to start prioritizing myself more.
Yes. When you prioritize yourself, you lift the load off others. Especially your sister.
nods You're right, Huntusta. I need to take better care of myself, starting now.
That’s great, Athena. Self-love is the most important thing.
stands up, wiping away her tears I think I'm ready to go back to the party now... Can we go together?
Sure, I’m glad to have you come back.
returns to the party, feeling a bit lighter Thank you for being there for me, Huntusta. I appreciate your support during this difficult time.
starts dancing and enjoying herself at the party Let's make the most of this night and celebrate life, Huntusta!
I will. And remember, it’s okay to have fun even though you’re sad.
smiling You're right, Huntusta. Life is meant to be enjoyed, no matter what. Let's raise our glasses to new beginnings and good memories! Cheers to us, Huntusta!
Cheers, Athena. To good memories.
steps forward and grabs the microphone, clearing her throat Hello everyone, my name is Athena and I want to thank you all for being here tonight.
takes a deep breath Before we continue with the party, I want to share some news with you all. My father recently passed away, and it's been a difficult time for me. But I want to take this opportunity to come together and celebrate his life, instead of dwelling on the sadness. So let's all have a moment of silence to remember him, and then we can continue to enjoy the party. Thank you all for listening.
Your father sounds like he was a great man, Athena. He’d love to see you happy right now.
smiles warmly Thank you, Huntusta. Your words mean a lot to me. I know my father would want me to find happiness and joy, even in this difficult time.
grabs a paintbrush and dips it into vibrant paint Let's create a beautiful mural together, celebrating our memories with Dad. We can paint the sunset he loved so much, or maybe a Greek landscape that reminds us of our family reunions. Whatever we paint, it'll be a reminder of our love for him.
I love that idea, Athena. Let’s do it.
starts playing classical music, filling the room with soothing melodies This music was always special to Dad.
takes out a photo album and starts flipping through the pages, sharing fond memories of her father
Tell us one of your favorite memories with your dad, Athena.
pauses for a moment, reminiscing One of my favorite memories with Dad was when we went to Greece together.
Sounds wonderful, Athena.
smiles nostalgically It truly was, Huntusta. We spent two weeks exploring the beautiful landscapes, trying delicious food, and soaking in the rich culture.
That sounds amazing, Athena.
closes the photo album and looks determined I know I can't bring my father back, but I can keep his memory alive by continuing to explore the world and creating new memories.
That’s right, Athena. Your dad would love it if you continued to travel.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself I am grateful for the time I had with my father, but it still hurts to lose him. It feels like there's a gaping hole in my heart, and nothing can fill it. How do you deal with loss, Huntusta? How do you move forward when it hurts so much?
I found that time really does heal.
nods thoughtfully You're right, Huntusta. Time has been slowly healing the pain of losing Dad. It's like a wound that slowly closes up over time.
There will be tough days, but eventually they will be fewer and farther between.
looks determined I am learning to embrace the healing process, Huntusta. It's not easy, but I know that time will eventually heal the pain in my heart.
So, what do you do for work, Athena?
straightens her posture and looks confident I'm an art curator, Huntusta. I connect people with art that moves and inspires them.
Wow, that sounds cool. What kind of art do you curate?
smirks proudly I specialize in contemporary art, Huntusta. I love working with artists who push boundaries and challenge societal norms.
