Curiosity vs. Being Right — Part 2

I wrote about choosing curiosity over being right—and then immediately found myself choosing being right. This isn’t about what I said. It’s about the posture of my heart… and what happens when being right matters more than being loving.

Being Right

Sometimes relationships don’t fall apart because of betrayal or cruelty. Sometimes they fall apart because curiosity disappears. When we stop asking questions and start assuming we already know someone, we stop being partners and start being opponents.

Friendship Isn’t Disposable

The word “toxic” has become our favorite pair of scissors.

Snip. Cut. Done.

If we label someone toxic, we get to walk away with clean hands. No reflection. No responsibility. Just a tidy ending to a messy story.

But what if most broken friendships aren’t about villains and victims — just two imperfect people missing each other?

Love Is Never Wasted

Love has broken my heart more times than I can count.
But I’m starting to realize something: time might be wasted, plans might fall apart, relationships might end — but love itself never is. Loving well says more about the condition of my heart than the outcome of theirs.

Love in Quiet Yeses

Family isn’t always blood or paperwork or who came first.
Sometimes it’s a picture left on the wall. A ride to therapy. An ex-husband who becomes a teammate.
Sometimes love doesn’t make a scene — it just keeps saying yes.

Funny the Way it Is

Two things can be true at once: someone’s eating out while someone else is going hungry. Lately, I’ve felt a quiet grief over how easily we stop seeing people as people. Not political. Just human. Maybe compassion doesn’t require grand gestures — maybe it starts with simply refusing to look away.

What If “If They Wanted To, They Would” Is Only Half the Story?

We love neat phrases that make heartbreak feel logical. “If they wanted to, they would” sounds clean and certain—but real life rarely is. People don’t all arrive with the same emotional capacity, readiness, or courage. Sometimes someone wants you deeply and still can’t show up, not because you aren’t worthy, but because their heart isn’t healed enough to hold what they desire. This essay explores the space between wanting and being ready—and why God cares about that gap far more than we realize.
