if it bothers you that i keep bringing it up, then imagine how much it hurts me that i still can't forget about it. maybe you're tired of hearing the same words again and again. but i don't talk about it because i want to stay stuck. i talk about it because it never really left me. sometimes i wish i could just forget and let it all go, but healing doesn't work that way. so if it feels heavy for you to hear, please know it's even heavier for me to live with every day. and sometimes, talking about it is the only way i know how to release even a little of that weight while i keep trying to move forward.
