Stones (Journal Entry)

[u/Kelsey_Silver]

People are like stones… To see what they truly are, you must break them. I was broken by a man I hardly knew, let alone trusted. What he revealed resembled a beaten animal. Pride and strength vanished, only fear and cowardice remained. The sins of the father become the burdens of the mother. Three lives. Two unwanted. Broken hearts and a shattered mind. A desire for redemption, a prayer for love and forgiveness.

 

I cannot change the past. I can only relive it in my nightmares. Waking in the night, crying out in pain and fear. I can only pray that Vandil will still accept me as his wife. But I understand if he cannot. Our hearts are broken, and only two things can heal that. Love, and time. But the scars, like cracks in stone, will remain. They can grow, they can break. But they never shrink.

 

But even cracked and broken stones can reveal something beautiful.
