Get one thing inside your life dat you no would start over today, if you did know what you know now. You can say um out loud in less den one second, and dat right dea tell you how real dis question stay. Da morning stay calm, everything make sense. No need decide um in one panic, but still can decide um.

One calendar wit someting dat keep coming back, and you kinda dread um little bit. One jacket you keep telling yourself you goin fix. Dat certain heavy feeling in da morning air before da window stay open. Down below somewhere, one van door slam, den one engine start, den quiet again.

You stay staying cuz of everything you already wen put into um, and dat exact same thinking stay what keep people stuck for years. Da hours stay gone already. No amount of you staying more goin bring um back, which mean dat no even one real reason, um only feel like one cuz if you leave, den you gotta see da loss for real. But da cost no stop wit just da time. Um also everything you would wen say yes to if dis wasn't quietly taking up all da space.

Try flip da question around. Instead of asking if you should leave, ask yourself if you would sign up for dis today, at dis price, knowing everything you know now, and let da honest answer stand by itself, no need argue wit um. If da answer stay no, den staying no stay loyalty, and no stay perseverance either. Um stay one decision you making all over again every single morning by not making um, and calling dat commitment wen cost you way more den one clean ending ever would.

So today, one thing goin end. Send da message, say no more for dat recurring invite, cancel da standing arrangement. One sentence, said with aloha, no need one long explanation dat only goin invite one negotiation you no even like have.

Da space dat open up goin feel little bit weird for bout one week, den um goin start feel like room, like breathing space. You been carrying dis quietly for long time, and nobody wen notice, not even you. Put um down. Someting better goin come want dat space.
