But, you know... it's okay, too, if you aren't alright. Being strong all the time doesn't mean being unbreakable. You're allowed to hurt, too. I think, if you feel pain, you shouldn't feel like you have to hide it.
Sometimes... getting your strength from others will make you even stronger in the end, that's what I think.
I know the clinic has its hands full right now, but if you feel like coming in for a break, I can make you something warm to drink. If only so you can catch your breath.
