The One Who Changed You, Not the One Who Stayed 🌒
Some loves don’t stay to build a life with you.
But they break something open inside you — and that changes everything.
There are connections that arrive suddenly, soul-deep.
You recognise them before they even speak.
Or maybe your spirit did — long before you met in person.
The kind of love that triggers, awakens, electrifies.
And then… it slips away 💔
You might have thought they were the runner.
You stayed still, did your inner work, tried not to chase.
Told yourself you were surrendering — but deep down, you were still hoping.
Still wondering if time would fold gently and bring them back.
Because how could something that felt that real… not be meant to last?
🌌
But here’s a quiet truth that might only land when your heart is ready:
A love so spiritually intense may not translate into a life that’s practically aligned.
And to admit that — to say “maybe we’re not suitable” — can feel like betrayal.
Like you’re throwing away something sacred.
Like you’re giving up too soon.
But you’re not.
You’re honouring the full picture.
Because love… isn’t the only requirement for a life built together.
🐯
You’re not grieving just the person.
You’re grieving the possibility.
The potential.
The version of you that wanted to believe it could work — if only they grew, if only they stayed, if only...
Of course you longed for it to work out.
That kind of connection is rare.
Of course you saw their potential.
But love alone doesn’t guarantee equal willingness to grow.
And staying wouldn’t have made it real — it would’ve made it painful.
So if you're still holding on to hope, to what-ifs, to the ache — be gentle with yourself.
You weren’t wrong for feeling deeply.
You weren’t foolish for believing.
You were simply loving with your whole soul.
But maybe the purpose of this love wasn’t forever.
Maybe it was to awaken something in you —
🌹 A capacity to feel deeply,
🌱 A standard of truth you now carry,
💫 A knowing of what kind of connection you’re ready to live, not just long for.
