Have you ever taken a leap of faith that shattered the illusion once you already jumped? That's basically what happened here.

And have you ever been by the side of the one taking that leap oand witness the blur of regret and depression that comes after? That was me.

It was a long week of looking after someone who I'm used to seeing as his usual confident self and someone who didn't care what other people thought about him. I'm usually the one with the breakdowns so its rare when its the other way around. He had so much hope in this opportunity he thought would end with him training to be a pastry chef but... it simply wasn't meant to be. I could've given him my two cents during all this but when you really love someone, all that matters is each other's happiness and you'll support each other through anything. Even though it was gambling with financial security, I really did mean it when I told him I'd support him in his life choices. After all, I didn't want to be an obstacle in the way of something where he'd be happier. I didn't want to be a naysayer. I wanted to be the cheerleader on his corner with the pom poms.
