Maybe you still talk about it like it wasn’t a big deal. Maybe you laugh when you tell the story. Maybe you change the details each time, depending on who’s listening. Maybe you say “it was weird” instead of “it was wrong.”

You don’t owe anyone a neat version of what happened. It was messy. You’re still here. That’s the truth.
