A Lesson Worth Holding Onto
From that day forward, I tried to hold onto that perspective. Distance isn’t always measured in miles or missed phone calls. Often, it’s the stories we tell ourselves about what is lost, rather than what remains.
The next time I felt apart from someone I love, I reminded myself: the distance might be smaller than I think. The connection might be deeper than it seems. And the closeness I crave may have been there all along.
The Takeaway
Life has a way of hiding truths in plain sight. The people who matter most, the bonds that sustain us, and the love we take for granted—they are often closer than we realize.
Sometimes it just takes a moment of presence, a shift in perspective, and the courage to see what has been there all along.
