The Breakup Tunnel
The healing process is difficult, and it looks different for everyone. For me, I’ve always seen a breakup as a tunnel.
You are at the entrance. Sometimes, you’ve arrived here alone –because you made the choice to leave, because staying was no longer bearable. Other times, it wasn’t your choice at all. Someone brought you here. Maybe they were supposed to take you somewhere safe, but instead, they stopped the car and left you here without warning. They forced you out, and now here you are–standing in front of a tunnel you have no choice but to cross.
