and suddenly, i don't care anymore if i was texted to, liked, disliked, invited, or talked about. i think i just got tired of caring too much about things that don't really matter. i don't want to keep checking who remembers me or who chooses me. i don't want to chase people or wait for replies anymore. not everything needs my energy, and not everyone deserves my time. some things simply stop mattering when you finally start choosing your peace over your need to be acknowledged. and honestly, that kind of freedom feels better than i expected.
