That's right. Think about all of the things you've felt. It's not as simple as - the feelings that are noisiest, right? You might have felt fear, but there were also moments, I'm sure, where you felt courage, or pride, or anger...anything.
It's good to remember you don't have to be defined by whatever feeling is strongest for the time being.
I've never "been" Scarlet, but when all of this is happening... I'm trying to be brave, courageous enough to keep going. And when we were away last Thursday I was so angry about the President and everything he did.
[he has no idea what any of this means, but he nods solemnly.]
That's awful. And feeling anger towards a person like that, a President of the United States - that's healthy. That's a part of you.
I think we're asking you to think on that, on what other parts of you exist. When you're losing who you are, remembering how you feel is something to hang onto.
Memories might come and go, but the feelings seem to stay. He'd think, before this, that it was memories that make up a person. Maybe it's more like a combination of it all.]
... I've been doubting myself while we've been here. I know I've never been through anything like this before. And... I wonder if what I'm doing is really helping or not.

The task for this week... That's self-reflection, right?
