Missing someone you left is not a sign that you should return to them. It’s a sign that your body is releasing the attachment it once clung to for safety.

Longing isn’t always about the person — often it’s about the routine, the familiarity, the emotional pattern your nervous system became trained to respond to.

When you feel the pull, it’s natural to question your decision. But missing someone and needing them are not the same thing.

The bond can echo long after the truth has been understood. That echo is not instruction. It’s residue.

You are allowed to feel the missing without following it. You are allowed to acknowledge the pull without obeying it.

Let longing be a feeling — not a doorway.
