Repair does not complete itself when you return. It begins when you stay. Presence, sustained through discomfort, teaches trust what words cannot. This reflection explores why withdrawal repeats harm, how closure distracts from repair, and why remaining present over time is the quiet discipline that restores connection.

This reflection explores how unspoken space shapes relationships, how absence creates meaning, and how repair begins not with urgency, but with deliberate return, clarity, and restored presence.
