You don’t always get abandoned.
Sometimes… you just make sure no one gets the chance to.
What looks like “losing interest”
or “needing space”
is often something deeper.
A pattern.
A younger version of you learned that connection can hurt.
That being left… is unbearable.
So now, without realizing it…
you leave first.
Not because you don’t care.
But because you care enough
to not go through that pain again.
And slowly…
protection starts looking like distance.
