And just like that..❤️ And just like that I became quiet in ways I never was before. I take longer to reply. I enjoy my space more. I walk away when something feels off. I stopped chasing people who never chose me back. I used to try so hard to keep everyone close, always checking in, always caring too much. Now I protect my peace. If someone stays, they stay. If they leave, I let them go. Being alone feels calmer than being hurt..❤️
