The Marriage He Wouldn't Undo
I've never been good at making decisions-somehow, I always end up hurting the people around me. So I chose silence, thinking it was the safest choice. But silence, I learned, is its own kind of chaos. It twisted how people saw me. Misunderstood. Misread. Misjudged. And yet, I remained quiet... because I didn't know how to ask for help. I couldn't survive without someone to lean on-without a presence to anchor me. So I chose the path that looked easiest, not because it was right, but because it was available. I got married-not out of love, not out of longing, not even curiosity-but out of necessity. It was an agreement, a shared convenience. A quiet contract between two strangers who needed something from each other. No butterflies. No spark. Just survival. I married a stranger... because sometimes, the heart stays silent when it's been unheard for too long.

Exactly that. Everyone is concerned whilst you are still at school... then all lights are left on you and your future. There are enough stories about during school with romance. bullies. Insecurities. This one is everything wrong with the aftermath. And how I'm still dealing with it. Along with that... it's sort of a diary for me. So you can see for real how it can effect you ☺️Complete

Color Added
I recall how my sister and I used to recite a little poem together as we gazed up at the big, star-studded, Kansas night sky together. "Star, light, star bright, First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight" She used to tickle me until I would tell her what I had wished for. You know what? God heard my boyish wish upon a star and granted me a life filled with adventure. If you ask me why He chose to grant my wish, I'd say it was so that I could share my adventures with others. Now, you may expect that, as Mark Twain said, my stories have at least an element of truth, but that I've added a lot of color - truth be told, they are more flavor than fact. I expect that my brother is right when he says that I've added so much color so as to make the stories mostly fiction. I hope you can tolerate this.Complete
