doesnt it get tiring sometimes?

[squelch]

tiring? no, i don't think so. i think it gives me more energy, if anything.

[braced]

what about times when it isnt going well?

[squelch]

i guess i try to store up happy thoughts for the times when that happens.

[braced]

that sounds easier said than done

[squelch]

it's not that hard! not really. at least for me. i started doing it awhile ago, i guess. i was really sad for awhile and i guess i just felt like i'd rather hang onto the happy things. the sad thing got too heavy to carry.

[braced]

i think youre... really lucky. if you can do it like that

[squelch]

i am. i'm really lucky. i know it could've buried me. i think it got really close, but like you said...

i'm lucky. and i'm not so sad anymore. sometimes, because i think that's just how it works. it never goes away entirely. but not often. there's people who help me a lot, too.

[braced]

i think most of us have something to be sad about since the war. we just have to live with it

[squelch]

you're right. i wish we didn't though. or, i wish everyone didn't have to be in pain. i'm sorry if you're carrying something heavy.

[braced]

thats really idealistic

but i get it. i wish people here didnt have to carry something heavy, too

[squelch]

does the heavy thing you're carrying feel lighter here?

[braced]

sometimes. sometimes it feels heavier.

[squelch]

do you know what would make it lighter?

[braced]

i know a few things that help. when it gets bad. but most of the time, here, its okay

[squelch]

oh. i'm really, really glad to hear that there are things that help, junsu. i hope it'll feel lighter every day. if i can help, will you tell me? if there's anything?

[braced]

yeah. i will

[squelch]

okay. any time! really. any time.
