He called his girlfriend from the bathroom at a friend's house.

Not because he needed privacy.

Because if she heard some sound that didn't match his story — she'd know.

His girlfriend berates him. Insults him.

Not a story from before.

He brought up Corinthians. Love is patient, love is kind.

Who has he assigned grace to?

A single viewfinder, and it's pointed at her.

My heart breaks for him.

The same viewfinder, pointed at whoever it is we've decided to call love.

If you think about how much we berate ourselves, a healthier version of us would feel entitled to end that relationship.

No true wisdom can only be external.
