So I hear. But sometimes the emotional catharsis is scary to consider.
You can never expect what will happen when you let go, if you'll still be capable of doing the things you need to do. Or if you'll end up a different person. Or if acknowledging the sadness will make you realise things you aren't ready to.
It's easier to keep it in. Not healthier, not better, but easier.
i just mean that if you are comfortable with it maybe i could help with the emotional catharsis thing but only if you are fine with it and if you are not i understand!
[ there are a few things she feels when she opens the next song -- and that's the beauty of music, isn't it? she doesn't need to touch the person singing to know what they feel. she doesn't need to touch stephen to know that he's feeling a little better. she hopes. ]

[ Stephen almost leaves it at that. ]
I mean, I appreciate the sentiment. The worry. But I'm fine.
Talking to you like this helps already.

Stephen smiles, and it's an awfully wide smile, as the music filters out through the speakers of his phone and reaches his ears.
He listens to the whole thing, and in turn sends this back.
(So came the sun, and so things feel a little more all right after.) ]
