Someone can go from being the place you run to, to the place you guard yourself from. A safe space ends when their actions shift. It shows in the way they dismiss what matters to you, in the moments they fail to show up, in the care they no longer give.
Safe space is not about easy days or light conversations. It is proven in how someone handles you when life is heavy. When their choices bring pressure instead of peace, when their presence feels like weight instead of comfort, that space is no longer safe.
A safe space is only real when actions protect it. Once their actions tear it down, it is no longer a safe space, it is just another place you outgrew. -Míchelle Annalèise Coles
