<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Somewhere along the line I noticed a pattern.</p><p>And today I’m too tired to pretend I don’t see it.</p><p><br/></p><p>I meet someone.</p><p>We vibe.</p><p>We talk every day.</p><p>We build something that looks like friendship… or loyalty… or connection.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then one day — <em>boom</em>.</p><p><br/></p><p>Distance.</p><p><br/></p><p>Silence.</p><p><br/></p><p>And suddenly they’re explaining why they need to disappear from my life like they’re doing me some kind of emotional favor.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I need to stay off for a while.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“There’s a good reason.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“You should understand.”</p><p><br/></p><p>You <em>should understand.</em></p><p><br/></p><p>That sentence always lands like a quiet manipulation.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because the moment you say you don’t understand…</p><p>suddenly you’re the insensitive one.</p><p><br/></p><p>You’re the bad guy for asking questions.</p><p><br/></p><p>You’re the problem for wanting consistency.</p><p><br/></p><p>But let me be honest today.</p><p><br/></p><p>I <strong>don’t understand</strong>.</p><p><br/></p><p>What exactly does cutting someone off have to do with “needing focus”?</p><p><br/></p><p>How does disappearing equal “working on yourself”?</p><p><br/></p><p>And why start building something with me if you already knew you weren’t going to stay long enough to finish the damn house?</p><p><br/></p><p>Don’t move into my head and then act like you never signed the lease.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don’t occupy emotional real estate you never planned to pay rent for.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because here’s the truth I’ve been swallowing for too long:</p><p><br/></p><p>Some people don’t leave because of you.</p><p><br/></p><p>They leave because <strong>temporary was always the plan.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>And the excuses?</p><p><br/></p><p>Those are just clean bandages for a messy exit.</p><p><br/></p><p>But you know what…</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m done fighting to keep people who are already halfway out the door.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m done negotiating my presence in anyone’s life.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m done begging people to stay where they clearly don’t want to be.</p><p><br/></p><p>If leaving makes your life lighter…</p><p><br/></p><p>Then go.</p><p><br/></p><p>No arguments.</p><p>No emotional hostage situation.</p><p>No dramatic speeches.</p><p><br/></p><p>Just go.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because for the first time in a long time I’m realizing something powerful:</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Loneliness doesn’t scare me anymore.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>What scares me is investing in people who already planned their exit.</p><p><br/></p><p>So yeah…</p><p><br/></p><p>If everyone eventually finds a reason to leave,</p><p><br/></p><p>then maybe the peace I’ve been looking for</p><p>was always going to be found</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>alone</strong>.</p><p><br/></p>
