I wanted to show this, not just say it.
I’m writing this slowly because when I rush, I mess things up.
I understand now why what I said hurt. Even if that wasn’t my intent, the impact matters more.
That’s on me.
I can’t take it back, but I’m paying more attention now. And I’ll keep doing that.
You once said this to me, and it stayed with me.
“As long as you are willing to be better and you try to be accountable, there is no way — I repeat, no way in hell — I’ll ever think about leaving you, okay.”
I’m still holding myself to that.
