One of the hardest lessons you’ll ever learn is that love isn’t just something people say. It’s something they consistently serve.

We spend so much time trying to earn seats at tables that stopped feeding us a long time ago. Relationships. Friendships. Jobs. Communities. Even versions of ourselves.

Leaving isn’t failure. It’s refusing to starve while convincing yourself you’re being loyal.

And here’s the part people don’t like to say out loud: sometimes the most loving thing you can do is get up without making a scene. No final speech. No desperate attempt to be understood. Just… leave.

There are tables where you’ll never have to beg for a meal.

Save your appetite for those.
