At some point you realise… you weren’t asking for too much you were asking the wrong people you wanted consistency from someone who lives in excuses you wanted depth from someone who avoids themselves you wanted honesty from someone who only shows up when it benefits them and instead of questioning them you questioned yourself maybe im too much maybe i expect too much maybe i should just chill so you adjusted you became easier to love easier to ignore easier to keep around without being chosen and that’s where it cost you because the more you shrank the more they stayed the same until one day it clicks you were never hard to love you were just finally ready for a love that actually meets you and not everyone is capable of that so you stop over explaining you stop over giving you stop over staying and you start walking different not bitter not cold just clear and that kind of clarity changes everything
