Colin bobs his head. He gets it. They sit in companionable silence for a moment as he collects his thoughts on the matter.
"I used to think it would just take time. Time heals, time will tell, that rot. Then seven or eight years on, I wondered why nothing was changing. I realized I still saw the world as a place that was out to hurt me at every turn, and in order to get better, I had to train myself to think differently. Though that might be putting the horse before the cart, for you. You have to...digest. Maybe even grieve. Take it in little steps, and don't be afraid to ask for help. People sincerely want to help you. You've helped me so much."
