I’ve been thinking a lot. I’ve always been okay with you having friends. Truly. I’m okay with the things you can’t do right now. That’s never been a problem.
What mattered most to me and what actually gave me real hope was you recognizing that the trap isn’t money or skills. It’s inside, and that means there’s a real path out. That truth lifted so much weight off me.
I’m not angry. I’m not disappointed. There is no hate. Nothing is burned.
I also learned something important: When people disappear without a word, it hurts. Silence creates suffering that doesn’t need to exist.
I care, and I’m giving space. But friendship means letting each other know when we need to step back so no one has to sit in fear alone.
