Why i'm finally letting go of a love that weighed me down

Author

Today, I took the decision to let it go. And I finally feel free. I know there are going to be tough moments but I cannot accept a love I have to force. Not anymore, I want to feel like I am worth "sticking around and trying" for. That is all I want. And I have come to terms that he cannot give me or is incapable of giving me that. And that is okay.

I was doing the usual chasing and begging after an argument but I felt like I was betraying myself because I knew that this is not how a relationship should feel and be like. And I do not know but I saw how my brother in law showed up for my sister, and it was something so dumb but he bought her a strawberry milkshake after they had just argued (and it was her pregnancy craving) but despite the conflict, he showed up for her so kindly and chose to show up even when "they hated each other" and that made me realise that love is actually an action. And someone must be prepared to meet you there, and my person was not. And I realised that I could not force that. It is his choice, and he was choosing otherwise.

honestly, choosing yourself like this is HARD but it’s the only thing that worked for me too.

that moment where you finally stop begging for something that should’ve been given freely… it’s weirdly calm after all the chaos. i remember feeling that same quiet kind of freedom
