I ran my hands through my hair, putting my head down, and letting out a groan. "I'm so stressed, I can't even sit still." I mumbled. "Well, maybe if you weren't so distracted and a daydreamer you wouldn't have so much stress!" I grumbled to myself. "And now... I am officially crazy. I'm talking to myself in a full blown conversation." I put my head down on the table. "Are you okay?" I looked up.. "Huh?" The little girl looked up at me. "Are you okay?" I sat up. "Uh... yeah." She sat next to me. "No, you're not. My name is Jacy and I'm 6 and I can tell you are having a bad mood." I looked down at her, surprised. "Uh, Jacy, where is your mother?" Jacy looked at me, her dark brown eyes not even twitching at the mention of her mother. "Where is your's?" She asked, pointing at me. I looked around, my heart dropping to my feet when I saw my mom wasn't in line at the pizza place anymore. "Uh... She was in line for pizza." I said. Jacy looked around. "Does she look like you?" She asked. I nodded. "Yeah, but she's got dark brown hair and brown eyes. She has on blue jeans and a black coat." Oh boy, way to go, Kaylee. Asking a six year old to find your mother for you. Jacy looked around and then pointed. I followed the path of her small arm and saw my mom, standing at the entrance to the bathroom. I sighed in relief. "If you need to calm down, you should try to stop, take a deep breath, and focus on one thing at a time. That way, you won't be so worried. You should also take your time. And, if people tell you bad things about you that aren't truth, you need to ignore them because they aren't good people." I looked at her. Everything she had just said lined up with my self conscious thoughts exactly. "Also, if someone says you are not pretty, you need to turn around and remember that you are beautiful, and that you always have The Father behind you." She put her small hand on my knee, smiled, and got up, walking tall for the mall exit. I stood, a little weirded out. But even to this day, her advice has made me feel better about myself, and I've started ignoring the things people say.
