I won't force anything anymore, if you text me, i'll text back. if you stop, i'll stop too if you ignore me, i'll ignore you back. I'm tired of chasing people who don't make an effort, of giving my time and energy to those who don't value it. I've realized that my peace and self-respect are more important than trying to hold on to someone who isn't fully present. I'll still care, but i won't let myself feel small or unimportant. If you want to stay, you're welcome. If not, that's okay too. Life is too short to waste on one-sided connections. I'm learning to trust the people who show up, and to let go of those who don't. I'm enough on my own.
