monterrey

Love is tested for honesty here - without any excuses for mood and without three-act drama. Just a conversation where instead of shouting, there's tiredness, and instead of resentment, there's common sense with a slight accent. This kind of growing up, when you no longer want to force your feelings and pretend everything is fine when it's not. It hurts, of course, but the pain is no longer a natural disaster, but something like an allergy - unpleasant, but manageable. And yes, the canceled plans in Monterrey sound like a symbol - of that very future that didn't happen, but instead cleared space for peace in my mind and good Wi-Fi in the shower.
