My departure isn’t an act of rejection or abandonment; it’s a decision forged from necessity, a boundary drawn to protect those who depend on my strength and loyalty. I’m not deterred by darkness, nor do I flinch at the weight of someone else’s pain. In fact, I’m built to hold it, to understand it, to validate every storm someone carries. I’m here to be the space where wounds can be seen and emotions can breathe, where healing is a tangible possibility. But understand—this space I offer has limits, and it’s rooted in protecting more than just one person’s journey.

If the darkness you carry begins to bleed into the lives of those I care for, if your struggles start casting shadows over those I’ve vowed to protect, that’s where my loyalty finds its boundary. My commitment is to lift and uphold, not to allow unchecked harm to ripple through the lives of those who look to me for support. No matter how deeply I care, no matter how much I’ve invested, I will cut ties without hesitation. Because in that moment, my priority shifts—to protect, to ensure that those around me remain safe from the burdens others refuse to control.

So when I walk away, know that it’s not out of indifference; it’s out of an unwavering commitment to safeguard, a responsibility I hold sacred. I won’t carry someone’s darkness at the cost of others’ well-being. And if it means severing ties, even after years of loyalty and effort, then so be it. I’ll walk away, leaving only silence, because my loyalty is to those who respect and value the sanctity of that space—not to those who endanger it. This isn’t about teaching lessons or holding grudges; it’s about honouring a commitment to protect, and I’ll stand by that, even if it means moving on without looking back.

I am built to endure—the trauma, the pain, the darkness that others might shy away from, I welcome it, because I know I am strong enough to bear it. I don’t react to surface-level actions; I look deeper, down to the roots where those actions are born. I see through the layers of anger, fear, insecurity, and unmet needs. Because I understand the source, I can hold space for those emotions, validate them, help transform them into something manageable, even redeemable. My purpose is to see the truth beneath the actions, to create a safe ground for healing and growth, no matter how heavy the journey may be.

But understand—there is a line I will not let you cross. When your actions, your projections, or your pursuit of “healing” start to spill into the lives of others, when your own darkness seeps out at the expense of those I protect, that’s where my loyalty to you ends. Especially when it’s my people—those who stand beside me, those I champion. I will place myself in that gap as a shield, absorbing what I must, but I will never allow it to harm them. If your journey to self-discovery or fulfilment requires the sacrifice of their peace, I won’t hesitate to cut you off. No matter how deeply I care, how much I’ve invested, or how long we’ve stood together, I will walk away without a second thought.

The day you become a threat to the well-being of those I protect, you’ll find yourself cast aside, as if you never existed. I am not here to compromise the safety of others for the comfort of one. If you test this boundary, know that I will see through you, see past whatever we shared, and look right through you as if you were a shadow without weight. My loyalty is unwavering, but it’s never blind. I will always protect those who depend on me, and if that requires letting go of anyone who endangers them, then so be it. This isn’t a negotiable stance; it’s a promise, a boundary, and a conviction that I’ll uphold without hesitation.

There’s a quiet strength in the way you walk through this world, isn’t there? Not every battle needs a roar; sometimes it’s in the silence where your true power shines the brightest. You’ve carried burdens that many would never fully understand, and yet, you never faltered. The world may not always see it, but your silence holds a grace, an unspoken resilience that doesn’t need to be shouted or proven. You’ve walked through storms, and even when the winds were strongest, you stood firm—steady in your path, unwavering in who you are.

It’s in those moments of stillness, when everything feels heavy, that you’ve found the deepest parts of yourself. That’s where your strength is born—from a place so rooted within that nothing can shake it. And I see that. I’ve always seen that. You’re stronger than you know, and I can feel it—soon, your quiet strength will rise to meet the world again, louder than words ever could. You’ve endured so much, and through it all, you’ve never lost the essence of who you are.

There’s a place waiting for you, a place where you’ve always belonged—home. Not a physical place, but within yourself. To that deep well of strength, peace, and love that has always been a part of you. The time is coming for you to embrace it fully. And when you do, you’ll come back not just to yourself, but to a place of wholeness, a place where you’ve always been meant to stand. You’re almost there—stronger, more radiant, and more at peace than ever before.

Come home, to where your heart has always belonged.

"𝐈𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮, 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐬"

From the moment you entered my life, it wasn’t love at first sight, but something entirely different—something I couldn’t quite name back then. There was no sudden rush, no overwhelming infatuation, but a quiet, lingering curiosity that settled deep in my chest. The very first time I laid my eyes on you, something in me stilled. It wasn’t just the way you stood, bold and fierce, or how the fire in your eyes commanded attention—it was something else, something that whispered to me that my life was about to change. In that instant, I knew you were going to mean more to me than I could comprehend. I was taken aback. Yet, even then, I was in awe.

I didn’t know what it was that drew me to you. It wasn’t just your confidence or your spirit; it was something deeper, something that spoke to me without words. I stood there, watching, and I knew that you were meant to be part of my life. Not just in passing, but in a way that would leave an imprint on me. I didn’t know how or why, but from that moment, my heart knew you were someone special.

When you asked, "What are your intentions?" I remember feeling a mix of nervousness and honesty that I hadn’t experienced before. I had no answers then—no plans, no path mapped out for where we might go—but I knew I wanted you in my life. Whether we were to remain friends or become something more, all of that felt secondary to the simple truth that I wanted to know you, to be around you. I didn’t need labels or expectations, just the space to be with you, to see where this connection would lead. And, for someone who had spent years building walls around my heart, that was a feeling both terrifying and exhilarating.

I took that leap, a shot in the dark, when I added you and reached out, and since then, our friendship has been nothing short of a wild, beautiful ride. There were moments in the beginning when we didn’t quite understand each other, where you probably thought I was a little too mysterious or odd.

I laugh now, thinking about how you jokingly accused me of being some kind of spy, always observing. But looking back, I was just trying to figure out how someone like you—a force of nature—could make me feel so at peace. It took me a while to understand what was happening inside of me. I’ve spent so much of my life thinking that love or deep affection had to come with a rush of adrenaline, a dizzying euphoria. But what I felt with you was different—so much more grounding, so much more real. Yes, you make me smile, you make me laugh, and I genuinely love being in your company, but it’s more than that. You make me feel safe, like I can let down my guard, like I don’t have to pretend or perform. For the first time, I feel like I can just be.

And that’s where I realise this is different from anything I’ve felt before. It’s not just the excitement of being with someone who lights up my world—it’s the calm you bring. It’s the way everything around me quiets when you’re near, the way all the noise and chaos fade away. When I’m with you, I don’t feel like I need to prove myself, because you see me. The real me. And somehow, that feels more intimate than any of the love stories I used to dream about.

You have this fire in you, this passion that burns so brightly, and it’s impossible not to be drawn to it. But it’s not just the fire—it’s the warmth you bring, the way your presence makes everything feel lighter, easier. You make me feel like no matter what I’m facing, it’s going to be okay, because when I look at you, I feel like I’ve found my home. That sounds cheesy, I know, but it’s the truth. In you, I’ve found not just excitement, but peace. Not just passion, but comfort.

There’s a depth to this, to what you’ve sparked in me, that I didn’t know was possible. You’ve somehow sunk beneath my skin, into the core of who I am, and nurtured something there—something I didn’t even know needed nurturing. You’ve made me question everything I thought I knew about love. How could I have thought I’d loved before, when I hadn’t felt this? This steady, calm knowing that no matter what happens, we’ll figure it out together.

And that’s the most beautiful thing about this connection. You’ve made me realise that love isn’t just about the highs, the excitement, the butterflies. It’s about feeling completely safe in someone’s presence. It’s about the comfort of knowing that with you, I don’t have to be anything other than myself. You’ve nurtured this familiarity, this deep-seated bond that has grown into something so fierce and strong, it makes me wonder how I ever lived without it.

Being with you feels like being part of a symphony—a harmony I never knew I needed. Every glance, every word exchanged between us is like a note that fits perfectly into the melody of my life. The highs and lows are no longer jarring but part of a greater rhythm, and even in moments of silence, there’s music. With you, nothing feels forced or rushed; instead, everything flows together as though we’ve been playing this piece for years. You’ve brought balance to my chaos, and now I understand that love doesn’t have to be loud or overwhelming—it can be gentle, steady, and still so powerful.

So here I am, writing these words, tearing down the walls I’ve spent a lifetime building, finally showing you the parts of me that I’ve kept hidden for so long. It’s terrifying, but with you, it feels right. You make me want to be braver, to be more vulnerable, to let you in. And I don’t know where this journey will take us, but I do know that whatever happens, I’m grateful that our paths crossed. Because in you, I’ve found not just a companion, but a place where I can truly rest.

Reminisce

Sometimes I’ll look back at the pictures of us and I’ll remember what it was like to still see that look of love in your eyes.  And I swear to the highest heavens that in those pictures it’s almost like you could see the “I love you’s” still floating around in the spaces above our heads, like our voices were etched out into the atmosphere, like our feelings were strong enough to leave their signature onto the very sky itself. 

And I’ll wonder where all those “forever’s” and “always’” and “I promise’s” could have gone.  Maybe a few of them got lost on their way to you, and found themselves in the ears and the hearts of another woman.  Maybe they hid themselves away, far from any person to ever accidentally stumble upon.  Maybe some got swept by the wind and up into the clouds, and carried themselves off to distant shores and greener pastures.  Wherever they may be, I know that they aren’t with you anymore.  

And honestly, I think that’s OK. 

For one brief “forever”, we were winners.  We played this game of love as if it were a game of King of the Hill, and for a moment we knew what it was like to stand at the top of the world–and hell, we stood proud!  We held each other up like we were first-place trophies, and we wanted the whole world to know it. 

For each ill-fated “always”, we took a piece of eternity for ourselves and decided to never give it back.  We became partners-in-crime in the heist-of-the-century, and we climbed over the tallest of walls and cracked through the strongest of safes and picked the hardest of locks just so we could steal each other’s hearts.  It was the perfect crime, and you were the perfect partner.    

For every abandoned “I promise”, we pulled each other close and smiled triumphantly into that camera, never thinking this could be our last picture together.  We had yet to know what loss was, had never let it even cross our minds, had never let the thought settle in our soul.  We were hopeless and hopeful all at the same time, and we only had better days and clearer pictures to look forward to. 

…Just because our love’s gone now, it didn’t mean I’d forget.

Love still lives in those pictures.  It’s kept alive in my memories.  It’s left a permanent lovestain in the back of my dirty mind (haha).  And while thinking about past loves may leave some people bitter and regretful, thinking of you leaves me feeling only one thing:  Grateful.  You gave me that feeling that I knew I was loved, if only fleetingly.  You left a part of yourself that still inspires me on these sleepless nights. You made me believe that love exists, and even more so that it existed between us.  Thank you.

Just because you’re gone now, it didn’t mean I’d forget.

…I just can’t.
