I was having an ok day today. Had a few funny moments with colleagues and sent a couple of photos to dad because I have been keeping him up to date with what is happening.

Then it just went bad. Dad sent back an email. It was short and positive but it just hit me in a bad place.
"You have eyes like mine. Look at the eyes in your picture, you can see your soul".

I don't believe in souls but I looked and all I could think was "pain", because I know that even though I was extremely happy in that picture, the hurt will always be there.

Now I just feel so flat and I hate that such a little thing affected me so much.
