Everyone has problems of their own, Maya. That's something my therapist told me. They're all important to different people.

... You're right though. My mom and I have had our problems, of course. But we're working on them. We've made a lot of progress. It used to be I didn't know how to communicate with her at all but that's changed.

She's always tried to be there. Unlike him...

[strongestheart]

I can only guess what it's got to be like... But I'm personally very glad for what your mother has done!

Otherwise, I might not have the friend I do now, right?

Like I said, it's his loss. You do great in spite of him, and you should at least be proud there, I think.

[clear_eyes]

That's really very kind of you to say Maya. It doesn't come through very well in text, but I'm kind of floored by it.

And you're right. I just wonder if it's still okay to think of what might have been.

[strongestheart]

That's... not a problem, right? It's what friendsa re for! Or so they tell me.

But... I guess it's kind of hard to not imagine that, sometimes? Just don't let it take you over too much, okay?

[clear_eyes]

It's not a problem at all. I'm just not used to it. That'll probably change, though.

And I'll try not to. I will say, talking it out... it's made it easier not to for now.

[strongestheart]

Mm, I expect talking it out ... can probably help, too.

So, like. If you ever need to talk about it, or anything... I'm right here, y'know?

[clear_eyes]

The same goes for you, Maya. I'm here if you need someone to talk to, as well.

[strongestheart]

Absolutely! I'll keep you in mind, Rachel!

[Of course that requires Maya to have issues which make that necessary which totally isn't the case, right? Right? Hahahhaha...]

[clear_eyes]

That's what friends are for, right? Right.

[Rachel has some suspicions, but... well, let's give it some time.]

[strongestheart]

Well, yes! That is what I said!

Even if I'm still kind of figuring out how to do all that, heh!

[clear_eyes]

That's why I said it. So obviously, I think you're doing alright so far.

[strongestheart]

"So far," heh.

I have a hard time getting much further than that, most of the time.

[clear_eyes]

Well, your story isn't over yet. Mine isn't either. We both didn't have very much in our lives before, and now we do.

That's some kind of progress, right?

[strongestheart]

Mmm... yeah! You're right!

[As she does, Maya whips back around, for better or worse.]

So we've just gotta try and keep ourselves honest!

[clear_eyes]

Well then, I guess I'll just have to be forthcoming with as much as possible!

[strongestheart]

I mean, only what you're comfortable with, of course!

[clear_eyes]

Of course, Maya. I think I can be pretty comfortable being honest with you, though.

[strongestheart]

Good!

I'm not really used to that. But, good!

[clear_eyes]

Neither am I, really. But like I keep saying, you guys have helped change me a bit.

[strongestheart]

Mm, yeah. I'm in the same place.

Not sticking around for things didn't do good at holding onto friends, I guess. That's... on me, but it still makes things harder than they should be sometimes.

[clear_eyes]

It's never too late to change, Maya. Or try to.

I have a hard time remembering that a lot of the myself. I'm not trying to be overdramatic, either. Just. Life is a work in progress, I guess?

[strongestheart]

I guess that's a good way of looking at it. I guess so long as I'm not getting caught up in anything REALLY bad I still can turn around,
huh?

[clear_eyes]

I'm trying to picture you getting caught up in something really bad like a gang or something and my mind just breaks.

But. Yeah, that's basically what I'm saying.
