and youll handle it, you know?

youll handle it.

bc youre strong, my dude.

youre strong,

and you have good people around you.

youre loved.

youre okay.

and you know what?

youre going to get through this.

you can breathe.

breathe.

just take a deep breath

and shut off the light inside your head.

let your mind rest.

youre calm.

breathe.

in.

out.

blow your breath out hard

force it out

release that anxiety

that energy

that fear

that doubt

put it into the air and

never give it a second thought.

dont cry, rae.

dont cry.

youre strong.

you will get through this.

youre okay.

youre so okay.

breathe.

in.

out.

keep breathing.

youre loved.

youre okay.

“goodnight, rae.”
