The prompt reads...part 1

The prompt reads: What is the most painful thing someone’s ever said to you?

“I’m jealous of you”

It was a friend I held so close to my heart. She was one of the few who I thought would be there to prepare me to walk down the aisle to my future husband. 

She went on to explain that she didn’t understand why people opened up to me, why they spoke so highly of me. I was then in the darkest days of my life, and no one knew. There were days that I just wanted to throw myself off of a balcony and be no more. 

I was having immense issues with my career and even contemplating whether I should get married the subsequent year.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, I decided to help my friend move out of her apartment because she was getting ready to meet her husband across the country in their new home. As I stood there, with her boxes in my hand…”I’m jealous of you.” 

My heart sunk, because I had knew death was around the corner. Death of this relationship, because if I had given her more room for grace, she would have swiftly taken the opportunity to stab and rupture my fragile heart.

P.S- yes, I am better and I am fine. Thanks for reading!
