I do give up on people. Not because I don’t care, but because there comes a point where I have taken enough.
You cannot keep draining me, disappointing me, and disrespecting me while expecting me to remain unchanged. I stayed longer than I should have, ignored too much for too long, and let things go that should have ended them sooner. That silence cost me more than most people will ever know.
By the time I walk away, I have already fought to hold on past the point of self-respect. So when I finally let go, it is not emotion, it is not retaliation, and it is not a warning. It is my final decision to stop choosing people who keep proving they do not deserve access to me.
