I got in contact with Brandall on February 26th, 2011. I saw his ad on a flyer and, somehow, I decided to cross the line.
I had been looking for somebody like Bran for almost two months until our paths crossed by chance.
Brandall was my guru, and would soon become my friend.
We worked together for nearly eight months. Brandall taught me a few lessons I'll never be able to forget. He left and indelible mark upon me.
And this is only the beginning of the story...

Subject: Dont hesitate to call

Hi Nadeena

Just got your message as I was preparing to leave. I must say I was in shock and I am sorry to hear that. That said I am sure you have your reasons.

Well I am glad I could help some in the short time we worked together and wish you luck in the future. Its a shame as we were begining to make progress.

Try and keep focused on your objectives and dont beat yourself up. In other words stay positive and build on that.

If you need help in the future dont hesitate to call.

Take care

Abrazo

Bran

PS I wont have somebody to correct my Spanish now.

Thanks for this message, Bran. I really wanted to talk to you, but I just couldn't find the words.

Franco and I broke up last week (after many years together) and I still can't handle it. Correction: I broke up with him, I did it from one day to the next BUT I don't need to review my decision now, I did what I felt I had to do, I should have done it... years ago, probably.

Anyway, I haven't been able to sleep for over 3-4 hours at night. To be honest, this morning I couldn't gather the strength to get on my feet and reach you.

(I'm re-reading my words, this looks so... sad, I'm making an arse of myself here, I know.)

I'm out of focus, hypersensitive, troubled. And I didn't want to break in front of you, it's not your job to heal me or fix me, not even to put up with me. Besides, I really respect you for the job you do, training has never been a game here for any of us, if you know what I mean... That's why I don't want to make you feel that you depend on my moods to do your job.

And at the same time, I didn't want to say something I could regret later. I mean, to share something I shouldn't share.

You're not really my therapist! (I would never have one, I don't believe in them.)

I don't know what else to say. I'm sort of lost.

I'm sorry about all this.

Na

Hi Nadeena

Sorry to hear that. Things will resolve themselves in time if its the right decision. These things are sad and some time is needed to recoup. I am sure you will bounce back. The thing is to not get dragged down by the negativety. Try and keep up the good work when you berk up a little as it will make feel better rather than stopping completely and reinforcing the vicious circle of feeling bad. Its cool if things slide for a few days its human nature to pamper ourselves in times of emotional stress. But then re focus on your personal goals and start moving forward if slowly. I guarantee you will feel better when you start working on your goals again. Endorphin is the best legal drug that exists.

So when you get grounded again dont be embarassed to call if you decide you want to continue with your project. If not thats cool too.

Priority is to get yourself healthy again!

Take care of yourself

Bran

Thinking about what to answer now... I guess you're right about everything. 
I can't add anything else right now but I must say I really appreciate your sense of empathy. What an awesome gift you've been given, Bran. This world is so full of shallow people, brainless, so devoted to frivolities, so worried about their own whims, so concerned about looking great, being popular, claiming and exercising their right to freedom at hysterical levels, seeking fun all the time and never comitting themselves to any cause but their own wellness... that it's really a delight to find somebody like you.

You can say I got the message. Just give me some time, I may be back on my feet then.

All the best,

Nadeena

Ok Nadeena

I have no doubt that you will be back on your feet again. Sometimes we have to get worse to get better. Until then take care.
