They say, "Why cut people off the moment they cross a line?" Because I've learned that actions speak louder than apologies. Every choice carries a consequence - especially when it comes to how someone treats me. If a person can't offer the simplest form of respect, they quietly remove themselves from my world. Maybe it looks cold. Maybe it feels abrupt. But protecting my peace isn't cruelty - it's clarity. Some behavior doesn't deserve another chance. And I refuse to hand over space in my life to anyone who turns calm into chaos. I'd rather stand on my own than hold onto hands that keep pulling me backwards.
