The straw that broke the camel’s back was the one that saved you.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was the one that set you free.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was the one that changed you.
Unfortunately, human beings only change when the pain of staying where they are is greater than the pain of leaving.
So don’t mind if the glass overflows.
Sometimes, you need it to overflow, to say “so long” or “forever.”
And it hurts… Of course, it hurts; who said it was easy to change your life? Who said it was easy to move on? Who said it was easy to leave the side of someone who was once everything?
It is not.
But neither is it fair to stay in the middle of the fire, burning for nothing.
But it’s also unfair to be the soldier who goes into battle alone.
But it’s also not fair to be the one who always picks up the broken plates and ends up with his hands cut off.
But it’s also unfair to keep giving you all only to receive crumbs.
In short, making life easier for the one who makes it difficult for you is unfair.
And I’m not just talking about romantic relationships. I’m talking about friendships, professional projects, and seasons.
Everything has its moment under the sun.
And every end is a new beginning. Even if you don’t see it at first.
And it’s okay not to feel one hundred percent; it’s normal. You must realign yourself, find your new orbit, and gravitate around a new sun.
You have to detach.
You have to unlearn.
You have to become yourself again.
And that takes time.
But indeed less time than it took for your glass of patience to overflow drop by drop 🙂
A virtual hug
