Well - internal wounds/struggles are the more devastatingly permanent ones, you know? You did it incredibly well here. Didn't seem too-dwelly. And your deliciously apt descriptions of seemingly simple things and objects are so very alive - I'm there.
PS: I'd also posit that forgiveness or lack thereof can too constitute an arc, Jess. :-)
Thank you so much! Too dwelly is exactly what I feared. I feel better now 😅
