one of the best things that I learned in my 20s was knowing

one of the best things that I learned in my 20s was knowing when to leave relationships, friendships, jobs, cities, and I haven't always left at the precise moment, I probably should have but one thing about me, she's a runner, she's a track star she's going to run away if you make my life unnecessarily and I don't mean leaving the moment something becomes difficult, some things are actually worth repairing some seasons require patience But there comes a point where staying is no longer a question it is self abandonment learning to recognise that point can actually change your life and sometimes save it because it requires believing that the uncertainty on the other side might actually be better than the certainty that is slowly diminishing you that's why we often stay not because something is right but because staying feels familiar whereas leaving forces you to disappoint people, you have to grieve what you hoped something would become, you have to accept that time invested is is not always a reason to continue to invest more. it asks you to choose the hard thing over the comfortable but I've learnt that when leaving is the harder thing to do it is often the most honest thing to do and nine times out of ten it's the best thing to do
