“Do
you want to know what I see when I look at you?” hesitantly I nodded.
“I
see someone who is more afraid of
herself than any other being on the planet. I see a woman who has been
forced
to lead a sheltered and miserable life because of pain she’s too afraid
to let
go of. Someone who cares so much about the people she loves that she
would run
to the end of the earth and back if need be. But most of all, I see the
Lia you’re afraid to see. You are amazing. You don’t even know the type
of
power you possess or how truly unique you are. You will never forget
anything
that has caused you pain, but if you can forgive yourself you can start
to heal
and learn to grow into someone even more incredible than you already
are. Now
tell me what kind of friend would I be if I didn’t want you to see what I
see?” I felt the heat in my cheeks and my
heart thundered in my chest. My eyes stung from the tears. I wanted to
be that Lia, but I was so lost I was lucky
to remember my name.
“Thank you. I don’t really know what
to say. There are so many things I’m afraid of and I don’t know how to live my
life without it. Fear has crippled me for so long…”I shook my head and forced
the anxiety and pain away.He didn't need to witness a mental breakdown.
