There's a video of what appears to be the boys out at sea and you can hear Stan and Ford (mainly his laugh) in the background and when I tell you I cried listening to this... The genuine happy laugh from Stan is everything to me and is so healing. 🥺🥺
(Shoutout to @ SortaClueless via Twitter for the screen recording of the video)
Let yourself smile widely when something makes you happy. Shut your eyes and savour the warmth of the sun. Let your hand linger on soft materials. Hug yourself deep into the cosiness of heavy blankets. Greet the birds in the trees and the cats in the street. Dance to the music that makes you happy. Cry to the sounds that resonate deep within.
Whether or not you recognise it, you have been happy. You have been sad. You have been tense. You have been excited. You have been you. In most cases, there should be no harm to externally expressing that.
It's time to let yourself feel. Internally and externally.
"...I'm not done telling you all the things that I wanted to say; there's still so much. It's been so long since anyone listened to me talk. Won't you stay?"
