What hurts isn’t the wrong people.
It’s realizing how long you stayed,
trying to earn something that should’ve been given freely.
You didn’t ask for too much.
You just asked the wrong place to meet you where you were.
And until that finally clicks,
you’ll keep confusing attachment with love
and crumbs with effort.
If this made something shift—even slightly—
and you’re done settling without knowing why you do it,
that awareness itself is the beginning of change.
