Holly had been going through a rough patch in her life lately. She had been feeling down and struggling with her emotions. Her mom had been worried about her and had been constantly checking up on her to make sure she was alright. Holly had been hesitant to open up to her mom about how she was feeling, but she knew that she couldn't keep it bottled up inside any longer. One day, while they were sitting in the living room, Holly took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I think I have a solution for us. I want to tell you stories about how I'm feeling. I think it will be the best way for you to understand if I'm okay." Her mom was surprised but intrigued. She encouraged Holly to go ahead and start telling her stories. Holly began to talk about her struggles, her fears, and her hopes. She spoke openly and honestly, and her mom listened intently. As Holly finished her last story, she looked up at her mom and smiled. "So, what do you think?" she asked. Her mom hugged her tightly and said, "I think this was a great idea, Holly. I understand you better now, and I'm so proud of you for opening up to me. But holly is like yeah, you know, its good for tv and i love you, even though you started the countdown waves mom! But we good it was a team effort so now you have to let me cook, because im not giving up im going to raise awareness until everyone listens.
