What isn’t right for you will always feel hard to hold onto. You’ll watch it slip through your fingers no matter how hard you try and your instinct may be to chase harder, prove yourself more, or become someone you’re not just to keep it. But sometimes what keeps leaving isn’t meant to stay. The things that are truly aligned with you won’t require you to abandon yourself, betray your values, or break yourself just to hold onto them. Understand that this desire stems from something internal in YOU that you’re missing or desiring and the other person in this case is a personification of that. It’s not about them! What is meant for you may still require effort, patience, and growth, but not self abandonment. Not self betrayal. If keeping something costs your peace, your identity, or your self respect, it isn’t the right fit. What is meant for you shouldn’t require you to lose yourself in order to keep it, ever!!
