Description
There is a conversation you have not had. You know the one. It has been living between you and someone else for so long that you have both started pretending it does not exist. You have built a version of your relationship that works around the absence of this conversation. You have found ways to not need what you actually need from each other because you have been acting like the conversation is not possible. You have found ways to get by without the thing that is actually missing. You have been settling. You have been accepting the smaller version of the relationship because having the conversation felt too risky. And the relationship has been sustaining itself on the workaround. On the thing you do instead of the thing you say.
