I inspire kindness in others

Well, I seem to inspire kindness in others.

Take last night, for example. Near the start of my shift, I went into flashback mode, and my boss noticed me shaking and tearing up and asked how she could help. I asked her to keep talking for a minute while I grounded myself, and she spent the minute telling me I'm loved, I'm safe, and that I'm awesome at my job.

It was a great gesture, but it would be nice if some day I could be the one giving the kindness rather than needing it ...

Ah, well.
