Oh goodness, hi! Hello! I haven't seen you in a while!
Here, come over here and sit down, okay? Great.
I love your outfit, you look gorgeous!
And your hair? Couldn't look better!
You are absolutely stunning, and I really mean it.
How have you been?
No, I mean really, how have you been?
....that's not a good enough answer. How have you been feeling lately?
.......
Really?
Oh honey, I'm sorry. Tell me more.
.....
*sigh* I'm so sorry. Tell me more about how you feel. I know you have more bottled up inside of you.
......
*crooked smile* It's okay, keep talking. Are you that sad? It's okay to cry, really. Here...*wraps arms around you* It's okay, really. I'm so sorry it hurts. *hugs tightly*
It's okay to cry, don't be ashamed at all. Your pains are real, I know. I promise I'm not judging you and I won't tell anyone else. Do you want me to tell you something? Is that okay?
I know how you feel, dear. I know how hard it is. Everyone goes to heart wrenching pain, and it hurts to the core, doesn't it? *squeezes shoulder*
I'm so sorry you're in pain like this. Look, I'm crying too, see? We can cry together. Thank you for trusting me like this. *hugs tightly again*
I promise, though, it all gets better. These storms and heartaches go away. They last for a while and yes, they hurt like nothing else, but you are able to get through it, I know it. Believe me when I say this okay? You are strong. *softly smiles* Don't give me that look of doubt. You think I'm lying, huh? *chuckles* I promise you, I KNOW that you are strong, honey. I can feel it in myself, and look deep down, you can feel it in yourself, too.
You are gorgeous, okay? Please, don't ever think of yourself as not.  I've been in that exact same position. You are you, and I know you're thinking, "yeah, whatever", but don't tune me out. I'm speaking out of truth and love saying that you are BEAUTIFUL and wonderful and good. *hug and smiles* Tell me you won't forget this. When you are sad and thinking bad thoughts of yourself, remember that I will ALWAYS know that you are beautiful. It's okay to feel hurt, but it passes, it always does. Please feel just a little bit happier, okay? Smile, just a little bit, please? Smile with me- there we go! You have a beautiful smile, honestly.
I love you, okay? Please, don't forget that too. Remember that I will always love you no matter what. Thank you for talking with me. It helped me too, really. I will talk to you again, okay? See you later. *smiles, hugs one more time, and watches you walk away with a little smile on your face*.

I'm always open for heart to heart conversations if you need one. Come talk or text me, and we can talk. :)
