I believe this is maturity. At some point, all the explaining yourself and proving your worth becomes draining and you’re left with no choice but to stay silent and walk away. At first, it’s going to hurt. You’ll feel numb. But eventually as time passes, it comes peaceful with no guilt. My husband tells me all the time to just allow people to be them and you be you. You still feel deeply, you still have a soft heart, but you begin to learn some things are better to keep to yourself and wish them well. Genuinely. It’s a part of growing up. There’s nothing wrong with that.

this truly is the experience of being 18-25 years old and honestly, it’s awesome. never in my life have i felt so free.

the distinction between peace and numbness/detachment is so important and you phrase it so well, excellent piece! ❤️
