If it costs me my peace, I have to leave it alone. I’m already fighting to keep myself together. I don’t have anything left to give to things that keep breaking me. I’m tired of pretending I’m okay just because I’m still here. Some days, simply making it through the day feels like a battle nobody knows I’m fighting. So if walking away is what keeps me from losing what’s left of me… then I’ll walk away. Even if it hurts. Even if I miss it. Even if it means being alone. Because I can’t keep sacrificing pieces of myself just to keep people who are comfortable watching me fall apart. 🖤 #behindthesmile #xyzbca #youmatter #chooseyourself #silentbattles
