Not Everyone You Lose Is a Loss ✨

There’s a certain kind of pain that comes from losing people who were once your whole world. People you confided in, celebrated with, prayed for, and stood by, only to realize they wouldn’t do the same for you.

Recently, I had to let go of people I once called my best friends. I spoke up. I shared my heart. I told them how I felt. And instead of fighting for our friendship, they gave me silence. No accountability. No understanding. No effort. That silence was louder than any argument. That silence told me everything I needed to know.

And yes—it hurt. 

We always say we’re unbothered, but the truth is… sometimes we are. Not because we’re weak or dramatic, but because love should be mutual. Friendship should be reciprocal. And when it’s not, it leaves a wound.

But even in the heaviness, I feel God’s hand. He told me to release them. Not because I’m perfect—not at all—but because my heart has outgrown the spaces where I have to beg to be seen, supported, or loved.

Letting go doesn’t mean I don’t care. It means I’m making room—for peace, for healing, for friendships that pour back into me the way I pour into others.

To anyone reading this who’s had to walk away from people you still love: I see you. I know how hard it is. But please remember…

Not everyone you lose is a loss.

Sometimes the real blessing is in the goodbye. Sometimes it’s God’s protection in disguise.

You didn’t lose—you learned. You made space. And you’re on your way to deeper, healthier connections that honor the love you give so freely.

Keep healing. Keep growing. And never shrink yourself just to keep people who were never meant to stay.
