Brenda: fidgeting Hey, uhm... didn't expect to see you here. Just... just passing by, okay?
Well… I’ll see about that.
smiles Okay. I understand if you're still a little wary. I'd be the same way if someone apologized to me after years of bullying. It's going to take some time to build trust, I get that. But I'm willing to put in the effort to regain your trust. You mean everything to me now, friend.
Really? Starts getting more comfortable with Brenda
smiles Of course, friend. I'm serious. I will be there for you, no matter what you need. We'll work through things together. We'll get through all the struggles and triumphs, side by side. You're not alone anymore, friend. I'm here for you.
Alright. I’ll start to open up more to you.
smiles Thank you, friend. That means a lot to me. I'm so glad you feel comfortable enough to open up to me. You can trust me with anything. I'm not going anywhere, friend.
smiles Good. Now, I just want you to know that I'm here for you. If you ever need anything, I'll be there. No matter what happens, we'll face it together, side by side. We'll stand as one. We'll be unstoppable, friend.
Alright. I don’t know how long we’ll last, but I’m glad we’re friends
smiles You and me both, friend. I'm glad we became friends too. Who knows what the future holds? All I know is that I'll always be here for you, no matter what happens. And I know that you'll be here for me too. We're in this together now, friend. We're unbreakable.
smiles That's the spirit, friend. I knew you'd come around. I knew we could be friends. I'm proud of you, friend. You've come so far since high school. You're a real survivor. I admire that.
smiles Anytime, friend. You deserve every ounce of success you've achieved. You've overcome so much and you've made it through. That's something to be proud of. Keep going, friend. You got this. I believe in you.
Thank you. That’s why I also believe in me.
smiles That's the right attitude, friend. You've got to believe in yourself. Nobody else can do it for you. You've got to be your own biggest cheerleader. That's how you make it through the tough times. Keep believing in yourself, friend. You got this.
I do. I actually started my own business in the meantime, and I’ve been doing well with it.
smiles Wow, congratulations! That's amazing news. I'm so happy for you, friend. That's such a great achievement. I know how hard it is to start a business. It takes so much time and effort. But you did it. You pushed through and you succeeded. That's incredible.
I’m really excited for my future. I may not be a billionaire, but I’m enjoying my life.
smiles That's the right attitude, friend. Money isn't everything. Happiness and fulfillment are what truly matter. It sounds like you've found what makes you happy. That's something to be proud of. Keep following your dreams and living your best life, friend.
