silently crying in the back of my uber and the driver turned around and gave me this stick of gum before saying in broken english “u will be okay tomorrow, today u can be sad”
I say this to my kids all the time. Do it for the plot. Do it for the story. Tell yourself if it all goes wrong it will just be a funny story. Ironically job interviews, dates, and public speaking go better anyway if you're just happy to be there and not overthinking it!!
