Things I Learned Slowly

Accountability

Some chapters don't end to teach us about someone else.

They end to introduce us to ourselves.

For the longest time, I believed healing meant understanding what happened.

Why they changed.

Why they left.

Why they stopped choosing us.

I searched for answers in every conversation, every memory, every silence that followed.

I thought if I understood them, I would finally find peace.

But I never did.

Because healing was never waiting for me inside their story.

It was waiting inside mine.
