Melissa Dlugolecki performs a spoken-word piece about a woman who stops forgiving and starts protecting herself. Once she sets boundaries, she won't go back to being someone's emotional dumping ground, no matter what he says.
Once she's detached, there is no coming back. You will never get the same version of her again because that bond is broken and her lesson has been learned. Especially if she's trained her mind to be stronger than her feelings and her boundaries to be stronger than her empathy. She's not relearning that lesson that she can't be your emotional escape while you escape emotional growth. And she's not relearning the lesson that if she's gotta fight for your attention, it's really not worth it to win your heart. So she's now put the gloves down so she could pick her crown up because for what you trying to do, you just met her a little too late. Like there was a younger, more naive version of her that was giving guys do overs who wouldn't do right. But this version of her is not second guessing her worth just because you weren't smart enough to put her first. And that old version of her would go on and on explaining what you did wrong so you could just say the words that she needed to hear. But this version of her ain't about to teach you how to give or wait on an apology. She just made peace without it.
