"The same one who mistreated you will end up needing you.
That’s how life humbles people. The very person who once dismissed your presence, overlooked your efforts, and made you feel like you were too much—will one day find themselves in a place where they miss the very energy they pushed away. They’ll remember the way you loved without conditions, supported without being asked, and stayed loyal even when they gave you every reason to walk away.
But by then, you won’t be the same. You’ll have grown tired of breaking yourself into pieces to build others. You’ll have outgrown the need to chase validation from someone who couldn’t even see your value when you were right in front of them. You’ll realize you were never asking for too much—you were just asking the wrong person.
And when they return, it won’t be out of love. It’ll be out of lack. Lack of care, peace, and real connection—the kind you brought so naturally. But your healing will have taught you the difference between being needed and being respected. You’ll smile, not with bitterness, but with clarity.
Because sometimes the apology never comes. Sometimes the closure is in your own growth. And sometimes the most powerful move is walking away and letting them sit with the silence they created.
They’ll need you. But you won’t need them.
