the dumb thing is...
You make sage laugh without feeling like she wants to cry. You show her that self harm isn't the answer, neither is giving up. She feels at peace, at home, in your arms when you sleep over. You gave her a reason to write something happy in her journal.
You show sage that the paint on the walls only means she's creative and openminded. You allow her to watch romance movies because she feels comfortable enough to cry in front of you. You are the person holding her up so she doesn't get too nervous to scratch her arms and play with her fingers.
You show sage that walking away doesn't mean you're never coming back. You show her its okay to fall asleep because she had lived another day. You give her the confidence to look in the mirror and see a beautiful woman looking back.
You give sage a reason to go outside and have fun. You don't only show her how fun life is, you show her how much fun she can have. You allow her to be okay with scars because it shows she's still alive. You take her mind off the drugs so she can lean over and look at a sketch book instead. You give sage a reason to listen to the sound instead of the lyrics.
