It doesn’t have to stay inside anymore.
Some stories stay with us.
Even when nothing ever happened.
you’re in between
one door has already closed
and the next hasn’t opened yet
this part is often the most uncomfortable
the in-between
in front of you are two doors
one leads back
one leads forward
you don’t have to rush
you don’t have to get it right
there’s no shame in whatever you choose
leave it
say what you never said
and leave it where it belongs
take it forward
leave something for who you’re becoming
(we care about you.
if it’s still loud inside, let it out first.
you can wait until it feels quieter.)
