quiet goodbyes

I believe in peace, love, and matching your emotional growth with your outfit.

And sometimes… that means emotionally retiring people like you’re Oprah giving out cars:

“You get distance! You get distance! EVERYBODY gets distance!” 🫢✨

“What Could I Let Go of, for the Sake of Harmony?”

A friendship.

I didn’t think I’d say that one day. But here I am — writing this and realizing I already let it go.

She used to be my best friend. Someone I trusted. Someone I thought understood me.

But somewhere along the way, it changed. She changed.

I live in a way that tries to be both reasonable and emotional. I care. I think things through.

She, on the other hand, started acting like life was a show — and she had to keep performing to stay “cool,” to keep someone, to fit in.

Even if it cost her her truth. Her confidence. Her spark.

I watched her stop being real.

I stopped giving advice. I stopped feeling seen.

She didn’t care about my problems — she just wanted to be me sometimes. Like my clarity and calm made me glow, and she didn’t know how to shine without copying.

I didn’t ask for perfection. I asked for presence.

And she couldn’t give it.

So I let it go — not in an explosion, but in quiet.

Now, she’s not my best friend anymore.

She’s just… someone I used to be close with.

Someone I still wish well — but from far away.

I’ll be there if she truly needs something.

But I can’t carry a friendship that’s not real.

I can’t shrink myself to make someone else feel whole.

I choose peace now.

I choose friendships that feel like home, not performances.

And if that means letting go for the sake of harmony — so be it.
