Sometimes, the most unforgettable moment isn’t the explosion. It’s the silence right before it. The breath before the confession. The pause before the goodbye. The second before the truth is spoken—or swallowed. We’re so used to chasing closure. Finality. A wrapped-up ending with a label we can point to—success, failure, love, loss. But life doesn’t …
