Chapter 66 - my letter to Freeman

You should know something about me…

I am a person who believes that to love, to lose, and to heal

is not just a cycle

it is life itself.

Every heartbreak, every tear, every quiet moment of mending

has carved me into who I am.

And because of that, I've learned one truth

I will never unlearn:

I do not beg for love.

I will not plead for someone

to see my worth.

I will not twist my heart

into knots,

just to fit into a space

I was never meant to belong.

Especially not for you.

Because if it is mine,

I will not have to chase it.

If it is written in my story,

I will not have to rewrite myself

to be enough for it.

And if it is not…

then no matter how much I want it,

it will slip through my fingers

like water I was never meant to hold.

I think you've noticed it,

the way I've stopped asking,

the way I've stopped hoping

for the kind of love that must be begged for.

Maybe once, I would've fought for it

but now?

Now I've made peace

with letting go of what was never mine.

Because love should not feel like a battlefield.

It should not demand I crawl,

or break,

or bruise myself to prove I'm worthy.

No… love, real love,

meets you halfway.

So if you cannot meet me there,

if you cannot stand in the middle

and take my hand without fear or pride,

I will not move an inch closer.

I've learned to save my steps for the one

who walks toward me too.
