I'm at the point of my life where as long as I know I did right by you, I don't mind walking away when it don't work... family, friends, lovers, anybody!
People will always assume you’ve never been through anything because you don’t walk around wearing your pain as an identity. You healed quietly, survived privately, and kept moving without begging the world for sympathy.
We speak a lot about absent fathers (rightfully so), but we rarely talk about mothers who become emotionally absent because they’re busy being good partners to men.
