Daggum looked at her and set his hand on hers, “But what? A sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to start. BUt once you do… it’s like a giant boulder rolling downhill. Takes a lot of effort to get it going, but once it’s rolling… it’s on it’s way.”

“I feel like nothing is in my control. Not really. Even the examples Janna gave. I felt completely overwhelmed and burst into tears,” Viyara mumbled and gently extracted her hands and the notebook from underneath his hand. Only to slip her right hand in his and flipping the book open with her left. As she leaved quickly through the the pages, Daggum would be bale catch glimpses of page after page filled with hand written text, drawings and seemingly random doodling. He might even notice that the handwriting changed and the drawing got better and more detailed as she got closer to the page she was looking for. Almost as if she had used this journal for a very long time. A little over halfway through the thick journal, Viyara reached the pages she had been writing those two lists on. After a short moment of hesitation she pushed the ever so slightly closer to Daggum. On the left side he’d see a list titled “Self Care”. It wasn’t very long, but had things like “taking a bath”, “going for a run”, “grounding exercise” and even “Tai Chi” on it. Always followed by what she’d need to be able to do each item on the list. The page on the right was almost empty. Only two things were written down there (“What I eat/drink”, “What I do in my spare time”) and compared to the neat font on the other page the letters were rather messy and a few tears had made the page wrinkly in places.

Daggum smiled at the ‘Tai Chi’ and then looked at the other page. “Sooo… The other page. Thats where you’re getting stuck, huh? Ok, let’s start there.” and he scooted his chair closer to her and then said “What about what you wear? You control that, right? How you wear your hair? Small things matter, V.”

Pulling her right foot up on the seat of her chair, Viyara nodded slightly and then rested her chin on her knee. “Normally I can control those things,” she replied softly as she reached for the pen with her left hand. “But here … my computer access is very limited right now and I’m not entirely sure what I really can and can’t control when it comes to those things,” she continued. And yet she still wrote them down in her neat, small font.

The door creaked open and Janna stepped back out onto the patio, her notebook, a zippered case and a PADD tucked under her arm. Taking a seat she too in the pair. “So, where are we at? What have we brainstormed so far?” she said, grabbing her electronic stylus and the blank PADD, ready to take notes.
