People love to judge from the outside
like they’re watching a show
with no context, no history,
just snap conclusions
from the safety of their own detachment.

They don’t sit with the cost of the choices.
They don’t feel the weight you carry.
They just want to feel like they “know better.”

But they don’t know what it’s like
to live inside your decisions.
They don’t know what it took for you
to walk away from that situation.
They don’t know the emotional wreckage
you had to sift through to make peace
with that kind of loss,
even if it was the right thing.

Fuck what they think
Fuck appeasing them

They’re not the ones who have to live with your choices. You are.
