And here’s the part that might surprise you: they’re not avoiding you because you’re unlovable. They’re avoiding you because you are love, because you are truth. And in the mirror of your soul, they see everything they threw away. You didn’t lose them; they lost themselves. They chose temporary thrill over real connection, and now they can’t stand next to someone whose very presence demands integrity.
See, your decency, your compassion, your honesty—that’s what drew them in. Not because they had it too, but because they wanted to wear it like a costume, like camouflage. But costumes get heavy, and truth has a way of peeling them off. So now, stripped bare, they turn to destruction—not of themselves, but of you. They poke at your peace, they whisper confusion, they try to unmake the clarity they fear most. Why? Because if they can dull your vision, maybe, just maybe, you’ll forget the truth. Maybe you’ll step back into the fog, into the role they wrote for you, into the pain that made you easier to control.

So here’s what I want you to do: stop staring at the wreckage. Don’t keep turning over the betrayal in your mind like some broken relic. Don’t let the lies echo in your spirit like they’re the final word. Don’t get tangled up in the question of why. The truth is the answer isn’t behind you; it’s within you. Something in you woke up. Maybe it wasn’t loud; maybe it didn’t scream. Maybe it was just a tiny ripple—a moment where their voice didn’t sit right in your chest, or a smile that felt paper thin, a silence that stretched too long, a word that tripped on its own meaning. And somewhere in all of that, something deep inside of you whispered, “Something’s not right.”
