Reflections — The Neighbourhood
chapter 18 — no more explaining

no more explaining.

I spent so much time trying to explain what I felt.

Every website, every paragraph, every late-night edit — a different way of saying the same thing from a different angle.

Then I finally listened to what she felt.

Not to fix it. Not to answer it. Just to sit with it, quietly, and let it change how I see everything.

I can’t change what happened.

I can’t change her decision.

But I can respect it.

And I can carry what I learned into the person I become.

Take care of yourself, okay? 🤍

no more explaining — just respect, and a quiet wish for your peace.
