    There’s something powerful about being chosen.---Not silently.---Not indirectly.---Not through assumptions.------But clearly.---Out loud.------Because no matter how strong something feels—---There is a different kind of security that comes from hearing it.------Not guessing.---Not hoping.---Not interpreting.------Just
