People think the subway is the loneliest place in New York. It’s not. The loneliest place… is lying next to someone who stopped choosing you months ago. I hear these stories all the time. Men who stay because they’re scared to start over. Women who stay because they hope he’ll change. But the truth is… we don’t stay for love. We stay for the version of ourselves we miss. And leaving… isn’t losing. It’s remembering who you were before the silence.
