You can do everything right and still be in the wrong place. You can show up on time. You can be patient, thoughtful, generous. You can adjust how you speak, what you ask for, how much space you take up. None of that changes the fact that some people and situations simply aren't built to receive you. The door doesn't stay closed because you knocked incorrectly - it stays closed because it isn't your door. The Hard Truth: You are trying to find shelter in a space that was never designed for your soul. Peace doesn't come from knocking harder; it comes from the quiet realization that you are free to walk away. Real detachment is the moment you stop trying to convince a house to become a home and start walking toward the place that's already waiting for you to arrive.
