A line we often romanticizeβas if pain should always come with loving deeply.
But why is it always us who must step aside?
Why must our love mean suffering in silence, watching them choose joy without us in it?
Ganun ba talaga magmahal?
Selfless to the point of self-destruction?
To be happy for someone who couldnβt even fight to keep us in their story?
ππ¨.
Love isnβt always about putting their happiness first.
Sometimes, itβs also about choosing yourselfβand realizing that you deserve to be part of the happiness you helped build.
Because love shouldnβt always meanβyou have to let go.
Sometimes it means holding on, ππππ ππππ to your worthβand walking away from what keeps on hurting you.
