Reading the situation correctly is part of getting through it safely.
There is something extraordinary about the first time falling.
This is a difficult balance, telling the truth: how much to share, how much to keep, which truths will wound but not ruin, which will cut too deep to heal.
Does loving someone mean you want them to be safe? Or that you want them to be able to choose?
Once you want something, everything changes.
Theres nothing like reading about a world that feels dead to throw your own beautiful, colorful life into sharp relief.
