So don’t you dare see that past as a failure. It was a furnace, and it forged something strong. Let the narcissist chase their next high. Let them post their illusions. Let them jump into another hollow romance like they’re trying to outrun themselves. That isn’t your race; that’s not your rhythm. Your story is different now. You’re building something real.
And when you cross paths with someone who’s been through their own fire—who knows how to love without taking, who brings honesty, tenderness, and truth to the table—you’ll feel it in your bones. You’ll know this one’s different because you are. So guard your peace. Shield your energy. Don’t let the parasites latch on again. You’ve let one in before, but now you know better. And knowing better? That’s power. Your job now is to protect what you fought to rebuild. Keep your spirit clean, your standards high, and your circle holy.
Because you’ve got a life to live—a good one. And no narcissist deserves a seat at your table ever again. If you’re standing at the edge of that decision, wondering if it’s time to leave, time to walk away from the noise, the gaslighting, the weight—you already know the answer. You feel it in your bones—that ache that won’t let you rest.
So go, but don’t go loud. Go quiet. Go wise. Go light as a feather and strong as steel. You don’t need an exit speech. You don’t need fireworks. What you need is freedom. And sometimes the quietest steps make the loudest impact. You see, when a narcissist realizes you’ve slipped through their grip, when they can’t twist your truth anymore or dim your light, they don’t take it well. It burns them because you were never supposed to wake up. You were supposed to stay in their script, lost in their lies, small enough to manage, soft enough to control.
