Dear You Who Waited Too Long,
#StuckInTheCycle #AlmostLeft #HeldByHope
You knew.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HQrNrkuEi
Long before the final breaking point,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO0GwxmSWu
you felt it in your chest—48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe0Dgam6yc
that hollow ache of knowing48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTp4OBUBpJ
you were no longer truly seen,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0540OGfDIb
no longer really chosen.
But you stayed.
You stayed because love, in your heart, meant loyalty.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtueVV7H8m4
You stayed because leaving felt like failure.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu5tnrYmXp
You stayed because you kept hoping that48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoV1a4ya7l
maybe one more compromise,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgO3rg4Ekp
one more understanding,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEuyWNqkEg
one more chance...48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCegiC5z19Z
would make them love you better.
But all it did was slowly unlove yourself.
I know how exhausted you were—48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFBo6qbs8p
constantly silencing your truth48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjqLN9gkIm
so someone else could speak louder.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP6AKN5BXj
Shrinking your needs48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0LQo23GMJ
so theirs could be prioritized.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwGwWdmzWM
Clinging to potential48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesEgk9NB94
instead of accepting the painful present.
But hear me now:48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rwKmCXtF1
Staying wasn't your weakness.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhepbgWKsQ
It was your proof of heart—48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U7Z9KWSvM
how deeply you could believe in someone,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0yPCbz1IE
even when they didn't deserve your belief.
But you didn't owe anyone your destruction48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFvyrBIz2l
just to prove your love.
You deserved to be chosen.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7nfW5teUO
Without begging.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iwBLFrD17
Without bending until you broke.
And even though you stayed too long,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIXqzPyyIg
you still left.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NzQfTkIPj
Even if it was just internally at first.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkfy1pRXaX
And that counts.
You may have arrived to your freedom late—48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAt87yUQJZ
but you arrived.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRKUKFCJ0V
And that's all that matters now.
—From the woman who finally walked away and never looked back
