It never really is the type of thing people expect would happen to make you sad. It is always a surprise to them, what actually makes you hurt.

But to have no reason. To just be sad… it’s something that seems not worth it, or even right, to cry over. At the same time, when Andy wrapped his arm around me, it felt so good. Finally, I wasn’t keeping it all to myself, someone knew.

I needed to know it was okay to not have a reason, to just be sad. He did that for me. He said it, and he also said that I was okay.

I’m okay, but not perfect, I’m better… just better.
