a space so small it could fit a single hair, a single insult, and a single regret.
The gap between my lie and the truth was a hairsbreadth. I’m still lying.
The gap between my mom’s patience and my mess was a hairsbreadth. She threw a plate at me.
The gap between my gym membership and my actual use of it was a hairsbreadth. I haven’t gone since 2017.
