"I stopped sending paragraphs, stopped begging, I stopped telling people how to treat me, and started walking away, blocking, and distancing myself. Life may be lonely, but it's becoming peaceful."
At some point you really have to tell yourself
“this is not an experience I want to keep having”
and stop entertaining things that don’t benefit you in any way.
I don’t know if the version of me that left still exists to return, or if I’m just a ghost haunting a man who is still breathing.
Lost is a soft word for a hard reality—I am simply elsewhere.
May you never again get attached to anyone who isn’t for you. May you find a love who makes you laugh, never lets the flirting phase end, and gives you unquestionable loyalty. You deserve a love that calms your heart, mind, and nervous system — a love that never hurts you.
Maturity is when you stop trying to convince other people to treat you right. You just observe their choices, understand their character, and decide what you’re going to allow in your life.
