I'm not reacting the way I used to. Not because I don't feel. But because I don't need to chase anymore. If someone pulls away, Iet them. If something ends, I don't force a revival. If it's unclear, I don't beg for clarity. I used to exhaust myself trying to fix what was already fading. Now? What stays, stays. What leaves, leaves. Peace is more important than proving a point. And I'm protecting that.
