W.. what?

Um–

May I assist you, Ms. Song?

Um.. How um.. How do you know if you’re okay enough to love someone..?

That is a very complex question. You can be not okay and love someone, but you can’t rely on them a hundred percent. For me to better answer this, what do you think okay means?

In.. not a place where you’ll hurt them…

That’s not a matter of being okay, It is just a few simple steps to follow. Make sure you the their emotions into account, when they are upset provide them with adequate comfort, show them you care, make time for them, when you mess up do not be afraid to apologize. Communicate your emotions, and listen when they communicate theirs. Make sure to respect them and their boundaries, lastly, a tip that I find many people don’t think of, try not to self deprecate, it can make your partner upset and can cause lasting effects on your self esteem.

..Hmm….

Was I able to be of assistance Ms. Song?

I think so..

If I may, there appears to be a stigma surrounding relationships, that you “need to be okay” but that is not true in ask cases, sometimes a relationship can get you on the path to recovery. Sometimes, to love yourself, the love of others might help, so long as you keeo putting in the effort to love yourself.

That makes sense...

Um--

Most definitely.

How'd you get past it?

-Usually after therapy she’d come by to mediate with him. She too her shoes off at the door and approached- Hi, Hanzo..

Ah, welcome back, Hana. How did it go today?

Not bad.. They gave us these, um.. work books for ways to like calm down and stuff… -She slowly made her way over to sit next to him-

Did they? What’s in them? [His position did not change, and his eyes were still closed]

Aside from work? I visited my love and then tended to my garden.

I’m so glad you have someone special in your life..

Mhm.. Are you missing it?

…It’s hard.. I miss Jamie a lot… -She looked over at him with a soft sigh; at least he was happy… Absently she reached over, touching his hair slightly- You ever wear this up..?

I see. [He looked back at her finally] On occasion.

Can I braid it..?

[He chuckled] Absolutely.

-She smiled a little, scooting behind him to start her work; it was peaceful-

[He sat still and allowed her to continue] A lovely day. Don’t you think?

It’s been warm lately… I like all the flowers that are growing.

Same here. Adds a lot of color to the scenery.

I always wanted a garden growing up.. One big enough to get lost in…

Getting lost in a field of flowers doesn’t sound half bad.

Right..? -She slowly rested her hands in her lap after finishing- Next time I'll bring flowers to braid through.
