I had rehearsed my speech countless times, but the moment felt completely different. Once I started talking, though, I felt a rush of confidence and clarity I hadn’t expected.

Staying quiet might protect my friendship temporarily, but it would let the betrayal continue, hurting the partner even more. By encouraging my friend to be honest, I would be promoting accountability and giving everyone a chance to make decisions with the truth.

   I once had a conversation with a teacher who told me that failure isn’t the end, but a step toward learning and growth. At the time, I was frustrated and ashamed after struggling with a project, feeling like I wasn’t capable. Hearing those words made me see mistakes differently.
