Wanna know what the funny thing is? I used to love you completely, sincerely from the heart.
But your way of caring is full of a lot of holding back and pretenses, that I had to learn how to quit at some point. You chose people by the group that benefits you the most, and abandon the one that cares if it's only just you without anyone's backing or support.
Maybe that is what toxic culture does. Maybe. But you saw that, the crowd followers and their wealth as more valuable.
I slowly backed away. Because I never needed to be on the stage to shine. I never needed that.
How to win? How do we win? How do I remain true to myself, be someone I can live with, be kind when everywhere I look...is full of people that would choose to side with what benefits them than what is real. Is it worth it to be with someone who humiliates and mocks you? Go be that then.
Because I am no longer willing to allow you step close to my or my family's heart. Not even false relatives or friends who so easily run. Not anymore.
