But the problem with looking back when you should be walking ahead is that you usually end up walking into something that hurts.

I didn’t fall in love with James. Falling sounds like an accident. Falling hurts. I’d fallen in love with Michael, fallen hard like slipping off a cliff and hitting the rocks below. Falling in love was something I’d vowed never to do again. I chose to love James.

It was time to stop allowing the white elephants to stand unspoken of in my living room.
