As Mark settled down beside him, he gently repeated his question, "David, are you okay?" David looked up, surprise etched across his face. He didn't expect his big brother to notice his inner turmoil so easily. Mark's thoughtful gesture made David feel seen and understood, even though he had yet to utter a single word.
David took a deep breath before responding, "I'm not sure, Mark. Something is bothering me, but I can't quite put my finger on it." Mark nodded empathetically, encouraging David to continue. It was in these moments that their bond as brothers became stronger than ever.
David finally found the courage to open up about his feelings. He shared his struggles with school and how he felt overwhelmed by the constant pressure to excel in every aspect of his life. Mark listened attentively, offering words of support and reassurance. He reminded David that it was normal to face challenges and that asking for help was a strength, not a weakness.

David realized that he didn't have to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders alone. He discovered the power of reaching out to others, seeking support, and celebrating small victories.
Mark's concern and genuine interest in David's well-being became a driving force in their relationship.

Through their journey together, David and Mark discovered the immense impact a simple question like, "Are you okay?" could have on someone's life. It wasn't just a question; it was an invitation for vulnerability and connection. It was a reminder that everyone battles their own demons, and sometimes all it takes is a caring person to offer comfort and support.
As David reflected on his experience, he realized that his big brother's love and concern had saved him from sinking deeper into despair. That seemingly insignificant moment on the park bench became a turning point in his life, reminding him of the importance of reaching out and showing compassion.
Now, as they sat together creating this podcast, David looked at Mark with gratitude and admiration. He knew that he owed his newfound strength and resilience to his big brother's unwavering support.
