My therapist once said "growth is realizing that someone's inconsistency is a sign to step back, not a challenge to prove your worth" and i think y'all need to engrave this into your soul.
Everybody talks about cutting people off but nobody really talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision knowing it’s not what you wanted but what was necessary for your well-being
When people don’t consider you in the same way you consider them, let them go. There’re actually so many people in the world that can match your energy and love you the way you love.
no revenge, but one day you will look back and realize that, unlike everyone else, I genuinely had the purest intentions with you. Maybe someday you will understand that people like me do not come around often. You will remember how I listened when no one else cared, and how I saw the good in you even when you could not see it yourself.
You will remember how I stayed when I could have left, how I forgave when I could have been angry, and how I still wished you well even when I had every reason not to. I may not have been perfect, but I was real, and that is something not everyone can offer.
One day, when you start seeing that not everyone carries a heart like mine, it will hit you differently. You will begin to understand the kind of presence I was in your life, the kind that does not come twice.
And when that day comes, you will realize that losing me was not just losing a person, it was losing someone who only ever wanted the best for you.
Sometimes as an adult you have to decide "this is the last time these people are gonna make me feel this way" and stand on it. Be it family, a relationship or a friendship.
cutting people off feels different now. it’s not anger, it’s grief. like dang… I really wanted you here, but your actions showed me I’m not safe with you.
