But nobody changes overnight so even though I wanted it - deep down, I wanted it - the rational person in me couldn't accept it.
So when I found out that his parents are separated and that they both have found a different partner but somehow remained best friends, I was nothing short of confused. How?
How did your family stay in tact when mine broke as easily as it did?
The most irrational thing I've ever done, maybe up to this day, is blurting that question to his parents in front of his entire family the first time I met them.
"How can you stand each other? Laugh with each other? See each other?"
Yet also up to this day, what his mom told me, despite never having talked to her before then, has been the most logical thing I've ever heard.
"Easy, sweetheart. We forgave each other."
That was the moment I realized that the mind and the heart only agrees with each other at the right time.
That day was the right time to begin a journey I've always walked facing the opposite way - forgiveness.
You made me stop running.
