Dear Someone: Read this if you’re tired of confusing withdrawal with devotion and silence with safety.

A reminder why you need to drop the ghosts, block the chaos, and choose your own pulse.

Disclaimer: What follows is straight, undiluted medicine. It might sting, it might warm, it might throw cold water on a fantasy you’ve been nursing. It’s written with courage and care, not to insult you but to interrupt the cycle that’s bruising you. Let your chest breathe, not your defenses. Let your honesty sit in the front seat, not your ego.

Now, on to the heart of it all...
