I'm sorry she had to endure such a trial, though that is indeed a silver lining. It's true that sometimes our struggles strip away parts of us, but in so doing reveal an unmovable essence at the core. And my apologies, when I said settled, I meant it in more than a physical way. Emotional stability, in a way of speaking. It's okay to make certain you're in a place to truly be a positive influence on those around you before drawing them near. I think so at least, though it's easier to say that to others than internalize.

Is that my vibe, mm? Mysterious. I do suppose not many dreams are blatantly stark.
