What’s the bravest thing I’ve ever said?
Answer: I sat for 20 minutes in the cold snow, listening to her talk about how she hated herself because of me, how she didn’t love a single piece of me anymore, how she wanted to become better without me, how happy and relieved she was to say goodbye.
How everything was about her, not me.
How angry she was that I could still smile and adore her presence by my side.
I was dead quiet.
And I’ve kept that silence for months now.
By not saying anything, I said the bravest thing in my life.
For the past three months, my everyday life has been about healing those 20 minutes of my lifetime. Yeah, that kind of felt brave.
