I went to a zoom gathering with some friends that was supposed to be a games night, but ended up a "talking party" instead. Out of the blue some very personal questions were posed, and one by one everyone actually answered.
Some bravely offered to go first. Some hesitated.
Everyone listened kindly and carefully. Everyone tried to give "the long story short" and felt it was too long.
All our voices shook, and that is okay.
It is my hope that in the morning nobody regretted it; nobody has anything to feel sorry for. Sometimes we don't get what we want but we get what we need; the last thing I wanted to do that evening in particular was to tell anyone else about my life, but hearing about all of yours -and maybe even saying what I did alongside you- was what I needed.
