The hardest pill I had to swallow was realizing I meant so little to people who meant so much to me. And that kind of truth hits different, it humbles you, it hurts you, and it teaches you all at once. It's a wake-up call that not everyone loves with the same heart you do. Some people only value you when it's convenient for them, and the moment you stop pouring into them, you see their real intentions. But the blessing in that lesson is clarity. You stop forcing connections, you stop overgiving, and you start choosing people who choose you back. Losing them wasn't a loss, it was making room for better.
