TM - 272 - Retrospect
"That's why I write, because life never works except in retrospect. You can't control life, at least you can control your version." - Chuck Palahniuk
Lisa Bridges has always had control issues. It was one of the reasons she couldn’t live with Nash. He was always so far out of her reach, so motivated by things she didn’t understand, so enthralled by things she couldn’t see.
Sometime after their fifth anniversary, Lisa began keeping a journal of everything he did that irritated her, mistakenly believing that if she could unleash her frustrations through written words, it would keep her from exploding. She discontinued this practice after about four months, having realizing that writing is down only gave her the opportunity to focus on her frustrations, and to exacerbate them all out of proportion.
A week before their divorce, years and years later, she handed him the journal. Without a word of explanation. He had it sent back the very next day, courtesy of one of his lower officers, with a note attached.

You know none of this actually happened, right?
Formerly yours,
Nash
…She’s pretty sure it did though.
