If you’re no longer interested in someone, please have the courage to let them know. Slowly pulling away, ignoring calls, and giving halfhearted responses causes more pain than honesty ever would.
you stayed longer than they deserved. you apologized when it wasn’t your fault. you believed words over patterns. and still, you’re not the villain in this story. you just loved hard. that’s all.
i saw a quote that said, “if you don’t clear your misunderstandings in time, they become the reason for permanent distance." and that’s realest shit ever.
my mom once told me “accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others” and that shit is real.
