I can spend years wanting something, giving it chances, imagining all the ways it could work out, but once I realize it no longer belongs in my life, I know how to let it go. I do not make that decision overnight, I reach it after countless moments of disappointment, after trying to understand what no longer makes sense, after giving more chances than I probably should have. By the time I finally walk away, I have already had the arguments, shed the tears, fought the battles nobody else ever saw. That is why I can miss something without wanting it back, remember someone without reopening the door, care about what we once had without wishing to return to it. People might mistake my silence for pride or my distance for indifference, but they will never know how much it took for me to reach that point of acceptance. I do not always leave because I stopped caring, sometimes I leave because I finally started caring about myself enough to stop choosing what hurts me. And once my heart has made peace with an ending, I no longer need the world to agree with my decision.
