Xenalia: Noor, I really admire how sensible you are. You always think things through before jumping in. I, on the other hand, wear my heart on my sleeve.
Noor: That’s sweet, Xenalia. But being sensitive isn't a bad thing. It means you care deeply, and that’s rare these days. Still, I try to keep a level head when emotions run high.
Xenalia: I wish I could be like that. Sometimes I cry over spilled milk—literally and emotionally.
Noor: Hey, don’t beat yourself up. Everyone handles things differently. You have a heart of gold. Just don’t let people walk all over you.
Xenalia: Thanks, Noor. I guess I need to learn to take things with a grain of salt. Not every word should hit me like a ton of bricks.
Noor: Exactly. And remember, even the most sensible person needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes ...
