Many people stay in relationships that no longer nurture their spirit ,not because love still lives there, but because fear does. The fear of being alone. The fear of starting over. The fear of losing the person they once believed was “the one.”
They convince themselves that enduring pain is a sign of loyalty, or that if they just hold on a little longer, things might go back to how they used to be. But love is not meant to be constant suffering, nor a test of how much pain you can endure. Real love should never make you feel small, unseen, or unworthy.
When you’re in a relationship that drains you emotionally , where you give more than you receive, where peace has been replaced by anxiety, you begin to lose pieces of yourself. You start walking on eggshells, silencing your truth, and pretending everything’s fine while your heart is breaking quietly inside.
The truth is, love is supposed to lift you. It should make you feel safe, valued, and at peace. It should inspire growth, not fear. A healthy relationship enriches your life; it doesn’t diminish your sense of self or your joy.
So, when love starts feeling heavy, when you’re constantly tired, confused, or hurting, it’s not love anymore; it’s attachment. It’s the comfort of the familiar, even when the familiar hurts.
“Walk away” doesn’t mean you never cared. It means you’ve finally cared enough about yourself to stop settling for less than you deserve. It means you choose peace over chaos, self-worth over fear, and the courage to begin again over the comfort of pain.
Walking away is not the end of love; it’s the beginning of healing.
