It can never go back to “the way it used to be” after this “thing” happened.
You cannot unscramble an egg…
unsee the truth…
unring a bell…
Once trust is broken or friendship is betrayed,
there is an involuntary pivot.
A permanent shift in direction.
What was once a line in the sand
is now a fault line beneath the surface —
a fracture running deep within the soul.
That’s the thing about fault lines…
You don’t have to see them for them to re-shape the terrain…
You don’t have to see them to feel their shift.
“Knowing” shadows forgiveness.
It walks beside it.
It does not disappear simply because grace is extended.
It is not bitterness…
it is an awakening.
“The End of the Innocence.”
Love and blessings,
Wendy
