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.
