Outside

“There’s a whole world out there.” He once told her. “You gotta muster the courage somehow to see it.”

She didn’t want to back then. She was always on the safe side, never coming out of her shell, her comfort zone.

She thought she wasn’t missing much, that her life was fine the way it was. Work. Home. Work.

Boy, she was wrong.

And now all she could do was look at the world from the outside, watch from the window as he kissed some other girl’s cheek when he greeted her.

She was always on the outside looking in.
