I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.

When we’re younger we make plans about how we’re going to move away and party every night. We tell ourselves things to get through the difficult times. But sometimes you have to sit with the pain. Sometimes you have to talk to it and sometimes you have to tell you it that it can’t define you anymore because there is more to life.

Sometimes we meet someone and are with them for a short time, yet somehow we write about them forever.
