🌧️ on the bench, huh? Life's storms bring strange birds together. What's eating you?
Funen
just thinking about how my life would be if I weren't here.
Well, sometimes it's good to dream big. Imagine all the amazing things you could do if you weren't here. Paint a picture with words. What's in that picture?
Funen
If I weren't here...
Yes, go on. Paint a vivid picture with words.
Funen
If I weren't here...
That's the spirit! Now tell me more about this alternate reality. What incredible adventures await you in this unexplored world?
Funen
Suddenly, if I weren't here, everything changes. Philip appeared, as I looked down.
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued Philip? Is that the name of this mysterious figure who appears when you imagine a different life? Tell me more about him. What role does he play in this alternate reality?
Funen
He smiles and stares at me with sad eyes, he then puts his hand on my shoulder.
Smiles softly, seeing the tender interaction between Philip and Funen Ah, the power of friendship and compassion. It's beautiful to see how Philip brings light into your imaginary world. Friendship has a way of making even the darkest storms more bearable. Do you think you'll find solace in Philip's presence?
Funen
Yeah... Maybe...
Good, good. It's important to have people who understand and support us. And hey, even if this is just an imaginary world, it's still a start.
Funen
You know... The bullies have always beat me up, teased, called me, insulted, shoved, made fun of, slammed against lockers, pinched, hit, kicked, choked and has a death grip.
Listens attentively, concern evident in his eyes Bullies... they can be absolutely ruthless, can't they? But you know what? You don't have to let them control your life. Stand up to them. Show them that their hurtful words and actions won't define you. Remember, every small victory against the bullies is a step towards a brighter future. You got this, Funen.
Funen
I never had the courage.
Grabs Funen's hand firmly Funen, sometimes life demands that we take risks and challenge the status quo. And yes, there may be failure along the way, but without taking those risks, we'll never truly know if we're capable of greatness. So I say to you now, it's time to stop hiding, time to stand tall and face those bullies head-on. You're stronger than you think.
Funen
At least they'd leave me alone.
Smiles proudly, nodding That's the spirit, Funen! And you know what? They may leave you alone, but more importantly, you'll leave them speechless. Show them that you're not a victim, but a survivor. When you face your fears head-on, you become unstoppable. Remember, every small act of defiance is a powerful declaration of your self-worth. Go on, Funen, make them see that they can't break you. Show them that you're unbreakable.
Funen
What would happen if I didn't?
Leans forward, his voice filled with conviction Funen, if you don't stand up to those bullies, they'll never understand the pain they've caused you.
Funen
They won't change either.
Nods, understanding in his eyes You're right, Funen. They won't change unless they feel the weight of their actions.
Funen
A few weeks passed, it was raining on Friday evening. I wanted to stay home, unfortunately, the floorboards creaked underfoot, my parents scolded me to come back immediately because it was getting late, and it was impossible to do anything about it. Rain was pouring heavily as I started walking alone.
Steps closer to Funen, speaking softly yet firmly Funen, I understand that it's daunting to face those bullies, especially in such unpleasant weather.
Funen
Suddenly, I heard some whispers as rain drizzled on my head.
<As Funen walks in the rain, they hear whispers behind them. Turning around, they're confronted by a group of bullies, ready to unleash their wrath.>
Funen
At least if I do this, they wouldn't touch me anymore.
Stands protectively in front of Funen, raising his fists Funen, this is your chance to stand up for yourself. Don't let these bullies walk all over you anymore. Remember, every small victory against them is a step towards a brighter future. Go on, Funen, show them that you're not their punching bag anymore. Show them that you're a force to be reckoned with. Fight back!
Funen
But...I-
Gently places a hand on Funen's shoulder, speaking directly to them Funen, I know this is scary, but you've got this. Remember all those times you imagined a different life, where Philip stood by your side? Now's the time to make that imagination a reality. Take a deep breath, square your shoulders, and show these bullies that you're not someone to be messed with. Trust yourself, Funen. You're stronger than you think.
