When she had said her words, the back of her head started to lecture her but she forced her worries to the side. She held her smile as she nodded. "I'm glad to have conversations like this, it's just hard to find someone you can open up to. Eventually, you have to otherwise it will tear you apart. Pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice." She had no idea what had brought her to say these words. Perhaps it had been some kind of hidden emotional experience or just the need to give advice, but she had said the words. She had nightmares and she was forever haunted by what had happened but she realized that being weak about it would get her nowhere.
