Here’s the truth people don’t tell you: Sometimes walking away is the bravest thing you can do. Even when everyone expects you to stay. Even when your heart is in pieces and your mind is full of noise.
Sometimes, your real beginning starts when you end something that was never right in the first place.
And karma? It works quietly.
My ex ended up marrying the girl he cheated with. They split within a year. I only found out because he drunkenly messaged me one night, rambling about how he “messed everything up.”
I didn’t reply. Some messages don’t need answers.
Instead, I curled up beside my husband, kissed his forehead, and whispered a prayer of gratitude.
Not just for him.
But for that moment of clarity at the altar.
For pancakes and side doors.
For second chances and real love.
So if you’re reading this, and you’re standing on the edge of a decision—one that feels heavy, terrifying, and lonely—I hope you know this:
You are not weak for walking away.
You are strong for choosing yourself.
You are brave for wanting better.
