“Space can be sacred.”

Stepping back is not always abandonment or rejection.

Sometimes distance protects what is fragile.

Sometimes it prevents words that cannot be taken back.

Sometimes it allows clarity to rise
without interference.

You do not have to hold everything close
to prove you love it.

You are allowed to create space
for your nervous system,
your home,
your peace.

Love does not require self-betrayal.

And sometimes the strongest bond
is the one that survives healthy distance.
