Words of Comfort

It all just felt so hard. All of it. All the responsibilities piling up onto you. Every expectation, wish and will of the people around you; other people. Other people. What about what you wanted? What you wished and willed? Shouldn’t it have been so much more meaningful than what others wanted? Yes, it should’ve! But. There you were, sitting outside on a step of stairs, and looking into the distance with a glazed over expression. 

Your posture was slouched forward, and you rested your arms against your knees, trying to think about it all. But as much as you tried, your train of thought remained stationary. It all just had piled up to be too much. Too much, too much, too much. 

But you were so engulfed into your stationary thoughts, that you didn’t notice him walking up to you, even if from behind, and sitting down next to you. 

“Hey,” he began, and as he did, you turned your head to see Eso sitting there, side by side with you. “Tough time, eh?” He asked, keeping his gaze forward. 

“Yeah,” you breathed out while averting your eyes, and looking somewhere into the distance. Just anywhere. It was so hard to face even him. 

“I get it,” he continued, “quite frankly I don’t know where I’d be without my brothers. Because.. they’re my rock. Especially Choso. He’s always looking out for us.”

You listened to him, silently hoping that he was going somewhere with it all, because you didn’t have what he had. You didn’t have anyone who’d always be there for you. Your family was there to just try and push you forward, despite what you yourself wanted. 

“So,” he uttered while wrapping his arm around your shoulders and pulling you against him. “If you need someone to be there. I’ll do that. I might not be Choso, but maybe I can be a bit like him.” He spoke with a melancholic tone, but somewhere, hidden beneath it all, hope flickered, more vibrant and radiant than the sorrows that laid on top. 

And that flicker, no matter how small, it made you smile.
