we really need to stop acting like treating people as disposable is emotional maturity. the whole “i don’t care if we stop talking” attitude, especially towards people who have genuinely shown up for you, has always felt like a lack of depth to me.
yeah, a break up hurts. but have you ever stayed after you saw the red flags because you thought love meant being patient and now you're sitting there thinking, "why did i fight so hard for someone who barely fought for me?"
