The words weren\u2019t just for the walls or the furniture or the old wood beneath my feet\u2014they were for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stood still, letting the silence settle. No more lies. No more secrets slipping around corners when I wasn\u2019t looking. The house was mine again, but more importantly, so was my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
