It's not the explanation that hurts-it's the refusal to take accountability. when someone tries to justify their actions instead of simply owning up to the harm they caused, it feels like they're more concerned with protecting their image than acknowledging your pain.
when someone thinks it's just a small argument that will pass over by tomorrow, but it changed how i saw them entirely. because it wasn't small at all. it opened my eyes to something i didn't want to see. something i had been trying to ignore.
and the saddest part is, they will never understand. because to them, it was just a small argument. just words. just one little moment. but to me, it was everything. it was more than just words. it was more than just a disagreement.
