Question

what does this quote mean?

“I wondered which was harder, in the end. The act of telling, or who you told it to. Or maybe if, when you finally got it out, the story was really all that mattered.”

Answer 1

I would paraphrase it as, "I wondered if telling something that is difficult to say, or the knowledge of who you would be saying it to, was harder. I pondered the thought that when you told the story, the story was all that mattered, and the actual telling of it or whoever you were telling it to did not matter."

Answer 2

Hope that helps!
