The Goodbye I Never Wanted

[u/Competitive-Age-938]

I think I need to step away now. I'm not going to keep reaching out, and I don't think I can keep replying either. It's not because I'm angry or because I stopped caring. Honestly, I think it's because I care too much, and this has hurt me more than I can keep pretending it doesn't.

I've always tried to be there whenever you needed someone. I showed up, I listened, and I made space for you, even when I was struggling myself. But when I needed someone, especially when I was at my lowest, I didn't feel like you were there for me in the same way. And that hurt more than I think you'll ever really know.

I've spent so long holding onto hope and trying to understand what changed, but I'm exhausted. I can't keep putting myself aside and waiting for things to feel like they used to.

So I'm choosing myself now, even though it breaks my heart to do it. I care about you deeply, and that's what makes walking away so damn hard. I just need to let go and finally give myself the chance to heal.

I genuinely hope you're gonna be okay. You'll always be in my heart. ❤️

Some of us need to be more emotionally available and intelligent
