And sometimes, it never fully does—but we find peace anyway.
If there’s something this whole journey taught me, it’s that pain doesn’t always look like screaming or slamming doors. Sometimes, it looks like a quiet woman sitting on a teenager’s bed, saying the wrong words with a broken heart.
And sometimes, forgiveness isn’t for them—it’s for you.
So if you’ve got a strained relationship, a silence you’ve been keeping, maybe it’s time to revisit it. Maybe they won’t be who you want them to be. But maybe, just maybe, they’ll be something human. And that’s a start.
