When someone asked why I no longer speak to a certain person, I gave an honest answer. Their response? “Why don’t you be the bigger person and reach out?”
But being the bigger person doesn’t mean continuously reopening old wounds, hoping for a different outcome. True growth comes from knowing when to step back. It’s about recognizing when a relationship has turned toxic, when conversations go in circles, and when protecting your peace is more important than forcing a connection.
Reaching out repeatedly, only to face the same disrespect, broken trust, or unresolved issues, is exhausting. Being the bigger person isn’t about tolerating mistreatment—it’s about valuing yourself enough to walk away. It’s okay to let go of relationships that no longer serve you, to protect your well-being, and to love from a distance when closeness only brings chaos. Not every chapter needs to be revisited, and some doors are meant to stay closed.
