what made me finally detach? i asked myself if this is how i want to be loved for the rest of my life. if the silence, small effort, and the constant feeling of being unseen were all i would ever get. i realized love shouldn't feel like begging for little bits of care. it should not feel lonely when someone is right beside you. little by little, something in me became tired. not angry, not bitter, just tired. tired of waiting and making excuses for things that kept hurting me. that was the moment i slowly let go. i understood that staying where i felt unvalued would only teach my heart to accept less. so i finally chose the love i give myself.
