I think that instead of isolating ourselves, hiding away, or pulling away from the people who love us while we try to find ourselves, we should learn to give them some kind of sign 🪧 — even if it’s a small one. Because, believe me, you can’t just disappear from someone’s life when they love you, come back when you need them, and then leave again when things get hard. If you need space, say it. If you’re lost, say it. If you don’t know what to do, say it. Because the person who’s still there deserves to know that they’re allowed to stay. They deserve to know that they can listen to you, care for you, and hold your hand without letting go, even when the road gets dark. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s friendship, love, or family.
Love isn’t measured only by words. It’s measured by time, effort, understanding, and respect. I’m not perfect. I know that. I acknowledge my mistakes, I try to learn from them, I work on myself, and I try to change the things I know I can do better. But I also believe that we shouldn’t push away someone we love simply because we’re afraid of hurting them or because we need some space. Because while you’re trying to figure out what’s happening inside you, the other person is still there loving you. And while you’re fighting your own battles, they may spend every day wondering:
- What happened?
- Why?
- What did I do wrong?
Sometimes we think walking away is the way to protect someone. But if we don’t explain anything, maybe we’re not actually taking their pain away.
We’re just leaving them alone to make sense of it all. ❤️🩹
