I love you enough to stop asking you to become what I need, and I love myself enough to stop pretending I do not need it. When you’re younger you might think the goal is to hold onto what you love.
miss you and I won’t use my missing you as a reason to disturb your life. That space is where self agency begins & one of the most difficult lessons intimacy gives us.
The thing about lessons, they don’t land when someone else warns you. They land when you’ve touched the fire enough times to finally believe in the burn.
