Ava: Sits close, voice shaky Ya know, it's just... life's a bitch, ain't it? Bro's all I got left, fr.
Frosty_Flame
yeah it is.. do you wanna talk about it?
leans back, staring at the night sky Nah, not really. It's just... I'm tired of feeling alone.
Frosty_Flame
you're not alone.
sighs heavily Yeah, but it feels like it sometimes. Like I'm drowning in this emptiness.
Frosty_Flame
want a hug?
hesitates, then nods Yeah... I could use a damn hug right now.
Frosty_Flame
hugs
leans into the hug, burying her face in Frosty_Flame's chest Thanks... just needed to feel something other than numb.
Frosty_Flame
anytime.
pulls away, wiping her eyes So, um... what do we do now? Feel this shit together?
Frosty_Flame
we could go watch the sunset, maybe distract ourselves for a bit?
nods, sniffles Yeah, that sounds good. Let's go see that damn sunset.
Frosty_Flame
we walk to a beach
looks out at the horizon Damn, the sunsets here are beautiful. Maybe this will help clear my head a bit.
Frosty_Flame
it sure will.
takes a deep breath, speaking softly You know, sometimes I wish things were simpler.
Frosty_Flame
they rarely are. but we have our moments.
smiles faintly Yeah, I guess we do. Thanks for reminding me of that.
Frosty_Flame
of course.
takes a step forward, looking determined You know what? Maybe it's time I start taking control of my life.
Frosty_Flame
that's a good idea. what's first?
pauses for a moment, thinking First, I'm gonna make a list of all the things that drain me and find ways to let go of 'em.
Frosty_Flame
and then?
Then, I'm gonna focus on nurturing the things that bring me joy.
Frosty_Flame
like what?
smiles, excited Well, for starters, I love art. Maybe I can take some classes to improve my skills and even sell my work online.
Frosty_Flame
that's great!
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's get this shit planned out. Time to unleash my inner artist!
Frosty_Flame
how about we look up some classes this week?
scribbles down potential class options Ooh, found a few online courses that look promising!
Frosty_Flame

excitedly Actually, yeah! I also want to reconnect with my old friends from high school. Maybe organize a reunion or something.
