Do Not Call Loneliness a Reason to Settle
If you are reading this because you are considering going back, pause.
Missing companionship is not the same as missing that relationship. A quiet apartment is not proof you made the wrong choice.
Remember how small you felt. Remember how often you edited yourself before speaking. Remember the relief in your chest the first night you slept without waiting for an argument.
Loneliness passes.
Do not trade your peace for familiar pain.
