One thing I have learned while my friend has been starting his chemo: no matter how sorry you are, it doesnt help to say it. You know they are hurting physically but have you asked how they are mentally? Emotionally? How can you support their mental state?
Remembering Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift were a thing and that Much Better was about her and Forever and Always was about him and I want roses at my funeral because im literally deceased and my 17yo self and 28yo self are screaming and help help help.
I was having a moment when I was feeling shitty about my shape and size and then I watched Hairspray. Now im even more sassy and confident than normal. If thats not a theater kid solution idk what is.
