Walking away from a relationship, situation, or environment that no longer serves you is rarely easy. Many people stay longer than they should because they hope things will improve or because they fear the uncertainty of change.
Yet there is a quiet strength in knowing when it is time to leave.
Walking Away Is Not Failure

Choosing peace over prolonged conflict is a form of wisdom.
