I don’t want an apology. I want you to experience the exact situation you put me through so you can understand how it feels to be on the receiving end of your own actions. I wonder if you would still think it was okay if you were the one losing sleep, questioning your worth, overthinking everything and trying to heal from something you never deserved. It’s easy to dismiss someone’s pain when you’re not the one carrying it. It’s easy to say “I’m sorry” when you don’t have to live with the consequences of what you did. I don’t want revenge. I just wish you could understand the weight of the pain you made me carry.
You want to know why they left? It wasn't because you weren't enough. It was because you were too much. You saw through them. You required a depth of honesty they were not prepared to give. You demanded a mirror that they were terrified to look into. People don't run away from you; they run away from the standard you hold. Let them go. They are not your equals.
