Pāhonoa te oro

[calm] [older male] [kind] [caring] ‎Hey… ‎come closer for a moment… ‎just pause… and breathe… ‎I know things haven’t been easy for you lately… ‎it feels like everything is happening all at once… ‎like the weight of it all is sitting quietly on your chest… ‎and even when you try to distract yourself… ‎it finds its way back to you… ‎those thoughts… ‎those worries… ‎that feeling you can’t quite explain… ‎but listen to me… ‎even in the middle of all this… ‎I’m still here.
