Today, for the first time in ages, I turned on notifications on Telegram for this person’s channel—someone I’ve been following on Instagram. I’ve probably known of her from afar for about six or seven years.

Her announcement about getting divorced really moved me. Sadly, that happens all too often. Here’s the interesting part: this person has been in therapy for ten years, and for many of those years tried to save her marriage—and the word “save” is absolutely key. Unfortunately, not everything depends on us; one person can’t save something that involves both of you.

She realized—even therapy can’t save what’s breaking apart, and sadly, nothing can if it’s meant to fall apart.
