You do you, and I will do me.

It’s ok if you are not rejoicing
It’s ok if ‘back to normal’ is not what you wanted
It’s ok if you don’t want to rush back into hugging people
It’s ok if you are numbed out or utterly confused
It’s ok if this is all too soon
And it’s ok if it’s just not soon enough
It’s ordinary that you feel conflicted
We are the survivors of a car crash in which our loved ones died
We are the left ones, the history keepers, the story tellers
And it’s ok that you haven’t found your voice yet
It’s ok that you feel differently from someone else,
Given everything that’s happened - that's the most “normal” that can be.
Trust is going to be hard for a while, and that’s alright too, my hand will stay outstretched for when you are ready.
Some doors will fling open and laughter will peel back the layers of fear
Some doors will edge open bit by precious bit
And some will not open quite yet.
Do not forget, behind every door is a heart that has been pained by the same story as you.
We can each pick up a paintbrush - what colour we choose is ours to determine alone
And that
Has to be ok.
You do you, and I will do me.
