Dear You Who Waited Too Long,
#StuckInTheCycle #AlmostLeft #HeldByHope
You knew.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuikr7BSK4z
Long before the final breaking point,40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4lTsHIHuW
you felt it in your chest—40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbQdNMvYzZ
that hollow ache of knowing40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI4ScXO6cz
you were no longer truly seen,40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaFtao5gBK
no longer really chosen.
But you stayed.
You stayed because love, in your heart, meant loyalty.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwL5ftAD6w
You stayed because leaving felt like failure.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEOKnGIwTn
You stayed because you kept hoping that40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F1PsjXirz
maybe one more compromise,40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMaHtx97k0
one more understanding,40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam4ffFVang
one more chance...40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNWpBbiBWe
would make them love you better.
But all it did was slowly unlove yourself.
I know how exhausted you were—40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecuBDrc0x8
constantly silencing your truth40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNMNsjtN6Z
so someone else could speak louder.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSc2RJpL1f
Shrinking your needs40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFZ1wACXZX
so theirs could be prioritized.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EUQXih9fp
Clinging to potential40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZWvwtSvNU
instead of accepting the painful present.
But hear me now:40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWxJ5huZf3
Staying wasn't your weakness.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF8CLhYC3Q
It was your proof of heart—40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkabyrgnwt
how deeply you could believe in someone,40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxc7pUhY9e
even when they didn't deserve your belief.
But you didn't owe anyone your destruction40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ0XY7Itg4
just to prove your love.
You deserved to be chosen.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPQT7po8ld
Without begging.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZDjz4URWK
Without bending until you broke.
And even though you stayed too long,40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KNv42BVzj
you still left.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDYQYmPLYg
Even if it was just internally at first.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFfiu5ix5i
And that counts.
You may have arrived to your freedom late—40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtI1qQEljm
but you arrived.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3C0iRYQby
And that's all that matters now.
—From the woman who finally walked away and never looked back
