When someone is not meant for you, they will disappoint you a thousand times until you finally understand the lesson to let them go. They will keep showing you the same patterns, the same lack of effort, until you stop making excuses for them. Not because you give up easily, but because you already cared and hoped things would change. But real love doesn't keep hurting you in the same way. At some point, you begin to choose yourself. You stop chasing what feels heavy and uncertain. You start walking away, even if it hurts. Some people come into your life just to teach you what you deserve and what you should never settle for again.
