raw face from crying to your therapist

I am grateful to be able to get help. Because we all need somebody to talk to and to have that third party person to tell us things that we deep down. Wanna be heard and just seen and loved. And I'm so grateful I can scared and bravely at the same time. Cry to a stranger and let my emotions flood.
