Scorpio

The apology that was never offered teaches you something about the person who did not offer it, but it also teaches you something about yourself. You have been carrying the space where those words should have gone, turning it over in your mind like a stone you cannot put down. The absence has its own weight, its own information. What you learn by holding that empty space is that some people will choose their version of events over your need to hear them name what happened. This is not about forgiveness or its opposite. This is about knowing who someone is when the cost of being wrong is just your feelings.
