Not everything broken needs fixing.

Some things are meant to be walked away from.
Not worked on, not over-explained, and not carried.

We’ve been taught to earn peace through effort.
To keep trying in the name of healing.
To keep “working on it” long after the cost outweighs the clarity.

But sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do isn’t to fix what’s fractured. It’s to finally stop pouring yourself into something that’s already told you it can’t hold you.

Healing is powerful.
But so is letting go.

Some patterns aren’t yours to fix.
Some people aren’t yours to carry.
Some cycles don’t need more understanding.
Some habits need a hard stop, not a softening.

This isn’t about being cold.
It’s about being clear.

You’re allowed to choose peace over process.
You’re allowed to stop bleeding just to prove you’re committed.
You’re allowed to change even when it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.

Closure is optional.
Self-respect is not.
