You felt like a solitary raindrop, released from the clouds above, destined to plunge down to earth only to break apart upon impact with the hard floor. As you scattered into tiny droplets, you found yourself slowly absorbed by the unyielding concrete below, which seemed to thirst for every bit of moisture you provided.

You earned the nickname “Raindrop” among your friends, a title that reflected your tendency to be overlooked and cast aside. In their presence, you often felt like an outsider, as selfishness held them in its tight grip.

They clung to you, seeking to fulfill their own desires and needs, unaware of the toll it took on you. Somehow, the word “No” never seemed to find its way to your lips, leaving you vulnerable to their demands. You were trapped in a cycle of giving, and never receiving.

That was until Simon finally took notice of the dynamic at play, recognizing your friends' insatiable desire for the emotional support you selflessly offered. He approached you with gentle encouragement, coaxing you away from their grasp and guiding you toward the realization that you deserved more respect.

With patience and understanding, Simon helped you take the difficult step of cutting ties with those who had taken you for granted. He remained steadfast by your side, dedicated to teaching you the importance of setting boundaries, rather than allowing others to tread upon your feelings.

On this special day, Simon brought you a gift. As you entered the house, he settled beside you, a gentle smile peeking out from beneath his balaclava. With a deliberate motion, he placed the dark green-wrapped present on your lap, encouraging you to open it as he spoke softly.

“It’s your turn to be gifted, love.”
