I knew long before I changed anything.
A life can make perfect sense
and still not be yours.
The part I kept explaining away.
The first time I really saw it, I was building a future that made sense on paper.
I’ve done this in relationships, in my work, in my everyday life.
Knowing exactly what I did, and still staying small because I could justify it.
No more crumbs.
I stopped negotiating with how little I’m willing to accept.
Now I see it immediately.
This is what I see:
You’re still loyal to a version that can’t take you further.
