It was late at night, almost 2AM and Diya was feeling so anxious she couldn’t manage to fall asleep. She had been struggling with her anxiety for a while now, but tonight it felt especially overwhelming. She had a big presentation the next day, it’s even worse than last time considering it’s a solo presentation. she just couldn’t shake the feeling that she wasn't prepared enough.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Min. Diya hesitated before answering, but eventually picked up the call.
"Hey, Diya," Min greeted. "How are you doing?"
Diya tried to hide the way her voice was laced with anxiety, but Min noticed it anyway. "Not great," she admitted.
“What’s wrong?” Min asked with a gentleness that has only ever been directed at her girlfriend.
she took a deep breath. "I have a big presentation tomorrow," she said. "And I don't feel ready at all. I keep going over all the things that could go wrong, I can’t even fall asleep."
“you've worked hard to get to this point. You're prepared, Diya." Min said.
Diya sighed. "I don't know," she whispered. “I’m doing this presentation alone and everyone will be looking at me… What if I mess up? "
"Even if you do, it's not the end of the world. And if anyone were to say anything about it, they will hear from me." Min reassured her.
Diya breathed " Thanks, Min, I don't know what I'd do without you."
Min smiled. "I'm always here for you. Just take some deep breaths, and know that you're not alone. You've got this, Diya."
"Thank you, Min," she said.
"Anytime, Diya, I’m always here for you."
