Said some things which I thought were pretty meaningful. Hope it helped make him feel better.
Listening to other people's problems makes me feel that my own are so insignificant, so trivial they shouldn't even qualify as problems. So, in a strange way, I do feel better. But I still wish everyone could be happier, could be less troubled.
Actually people know what they have to do, myself included. So I don't really have to say much, just affirm, encourage. So sometimes I need someone to do that for me, too. Thankfully there's always someone around.
Home was wonderful. The only place where I'm sure I'm loved for who I am, nothing more, nothing less. Well not quite the only place, but some friends are so, so far away. Well, now it's back to the real world, where things are not always quite what they seem to be, where traps and pitfalls abound.
I'm ready for it.
For now, sleep. And a very early morning tomorrow to finish my tutorial.
