Here are a few takeaways from this intense experience:
- Communication is key: Never assume silence or routine means everything is okay. Keep conversations open and honest.
- Look for the signs: Sometimes the smallest clues reveal the biggest truths. Trust your intuition.
- Celebrate with intention: Anniversaries are about honoring your journey—but they can also be moments to reassess and realign.
- Self-awareness matters: Knowing your worth and your boundaries can empower you in the face of hard decisions.
