Secrets can tear us apart from "summary" of You'd Be Home Now by Kathleen Glasgow
In the quiet moments between us, when we feel the weight of our unspoken truths pressing in, it's easy to see how secrets can wedge themselves between two people. They fester and grow in the silence, twisting and distorting until they become a barrier too high to climb. We may think we're protecting each other by keeping these secrets buried deep within us, but in reality, we're only driving each other further apart. As the days pass, the distance between us grows, our smiles becoming strained and our conversations superficial. We tiptoe around the elephant in the room, pretending that everything is fine when we both know it's not. The longer we keep these secrets hidden, the more they threaten to unravel the fragile threads holding us together. It's a cruel irony that the very things we think will protect us end up being the ones that cause the most harm. We convince ourselves that we're saving each other from pain, but in reality, we're only prolonging the inevitable. The truth will always find a way to surface, and when it does, the fallout can be devastating. Our secrets become like chains, binding us to a past we can't escape. They weigh us down, suffocating us with their heavy burden. We may try to ignore them, to push them to the back of our minds, but they have a way of creeping back into the forefront, demanding to be acknowledged. In the end, it's not the secrets themselves that tear us apart, but the walls we build around them. We shut each other out, afraid of what might happen if we let the truth come to light. But in doing so, we lose the very thing we were trying to protect - our connection with each other. And once that bond is broken, it's difficult to repair. We must learn to confront our secrets, to face them head-on and deal with the consequences, no matter how painful they may be. Only then can we hope to bridge the divide that has grown between us and find our way back to each other. For it's only by being honest and open that we can truly be at peace with ourselves and with those we love.
