The less you stress about, the more effortlessly it will happen.
It starts with you being okay with not having them in your life anymore.
It starts with you imagining a future without them and it doesnt make you feel sad.

It starts with your mind, when it slowly stops thinking about them and stops wondering how theyre doing.
It starts with your heart, when it doesnt skip a beat when theyre around.
When it slowly starts closing off because it doesnt feel safe to proceed.

It doesnt feel safe about moving forward.
When it slowly starts feeling better about feelingless.
It starts with you not wanting to send that text message or tell them that you miss them.
It starts with you starting not to miss them the longer you go without seeing them.
It starts with feeling anxious instead of feeling safe.
It starts with wanting to fall back instead of wanting to try harder.
It starts with craving distance more than intimacy.
It starts with being indifferent more than passionate.
It starts with being turned off by the smallest things instead of letting them go.
It starts with remembering every red flag instead of ignoring them.
It starts with a nudge telling you that youre settling when you know you deserve more.
It starts with asking God for clarity and you find yourself slowly walking away.
It starts with a fewmaybesand ends with a clear NO.
