One of the most powerful things you can ever do is know your worth - and stand by it. I’ve reached a point in my life where I no longer fear losing people. Not because I don’t care, but because I refuse to hold onto anyone who doesn’t truly value me.

 

One of the most powerful things you can ever do is know your worth - and stand by it. 

I’ve reached a point in my life where I no longer fear losing people. Not because I don’t care, but because I refuse to hold onto anyone who doesn’t truly value me. 

I’ve learned that real love, real respect, and real loyalty never put you in a position where you have to beg for them.

Disrespect me once, and I won’t argue. I won’t chase, plead, or try to convince you to treat me better. I will simply remove myself. Because the moment you show me that you don’t appreciate my presence, I’ll make sure you feel my absence. 

I don’t have the energy to entertain people who take me for granted. I don’t have the patience to explain basic respect to those who should already understand it.

You see, I spent too much of my life giving people chance after chance, hoping they’d change, hoping they’d finally see my worth. But all that ever did was drain me. 

People who truly care about you won’t put you in a position where you have to question your value. They won’t make you wonder if you’re enough. They won’t make you feel like an option, a convenience, or a backup plan.

So now, I move differently. 

I no longer cling to people just because of history, attachment, or potential. 

I pay attention to how they treat me in the present. 

I protect my energy. 

I choose peace over forced connections. 

And I refuse to settle for anything less than what I give in return.

The right people will never make you feel like you have to fight for a place in their lives. 

And the wrong ones? Let them go. Trust me, your life will feel so much lighter without them.
