I’m not who I used to be… and that’s intentional.

I used to over-explain.

I used to give chances like they were unlimited.

I used to ignore disrespect just to keep the peace.

Now?

I see it once… and I move accordingly.

No announcements. No arguing. No begging.

Just distance… or a problem.

The calm version of me?

That was mercy.

Follow for more petty truth you don’t wanna hear but need anyway.
