The harsh truth: Protecting your mental health means accepting some of the hardest realities — grieving people who are still alive, walking away from those who refuse to meet you halfway, and finding peace in silence instead of chaos. It means forgiving those who never said sorry, not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace. It means realizing that love without boundaries isn't love at all — it's self-abandonment disguised as loyalty. Healing will cost you people, comfort, and tamiliarity... but it will give you yourself back.
