||: I'm struggling to remember a time when I was not stressed.

||: A big fat mood that is giving me heart palpitations and a splitting headache. I hope you're okay lil one 💕

||: If only I could! I'm counting down the days until I have a heart attack from not eating properly for months! I am here for you ❤️

||: Supporting each other through our stress and snacking induced heart attacks sounds like all friendship goals to me.

"Why is my mother falling all over the place?"

"I- what is happening?"

"Oh God. Mom doesn't know."

"I'm not telling her."

"About um . . . about dad."

"I should get going to bed. it's late."

"Mom."

Well now she's panicking.

"Mom, I really don't think you want to know."

"There was a phone call a few days ago and I forgot to tell you because you were working and I was studying."

"It's about this . . . Serpent trip he went on. Please don't get mad?"

"You have to promise you won't get mad first."

"A lady called to say that dad had been hurt."

"The . . . The ER."

She'll just quietly study in shame.
