Today at work I started writing a very simple MatLab script.
Stefan, Emmy and I went to Mulan for dinner.
When I came back to my apartment Rachel and Kevin were in the kitchen. Rachel seemed to want to talk, so we talked. For 2 hours. We went through her high school yearbook, her sister's wedding; we talked about her mother, her marriage, her divorce, her boyfriend, her age. She showed me her tattoos.
Just because of her age and the weight of life that comes with it, I felt challenged to offer any comment to her struggles. I tapped into my own pool of pain and shared with her what I learnt from those experience -- I asked her to have compassion for her Self.
