It begins in that quiet moment when everything feels like it has fallen apart when the silence is louder than any argument and you are left staring at your phone wondering what you did wrong your heart aches and your mind spins trying to replay the last words the last look the last text and in that space you feel the pull the deep emotional urge to fix it to say something to reach out and make it right you want to run after him not because you are weak but because you care because part of you still believes that if you just try hard enough he will come back and the pain will stop But this moment right here is more important than any message you could send because what you do in this pain defines the rest of your story you are not broken you are human your feelings are real and raw but chasing him from this space will only make him see you through the lens of desperation it will confirm what he might already think that he has all the power and you are the one trying to hold on That pain is real but it is also a fork in the road you can chase and stay stuck or you can feel everything let it burn let it break and still choose to stand still choose yourself this is not about pretending you do not care it is about honoring the fact that your heart deserves someone who runs toward you not away from you and it starts by not running after someone who is not choosing you in this moment The silence you are sitting in might feel unbearable but within it is the chance to build something stronger not with him but within yourself and that is where everything begins to change not by chasing him but by deciding you are worth more than someone you have to convince to love you
