HALLWAY ✦ The Fear Behind Staying

There’s a fear that many women carry deep down inside of themselves, but it’s rarely named out loud.

And it’s not the fear of being alone, either. No, it’s not that at all. It’s the fear that as soon as you leave, the man that you loved will finally become the man that you waited so long for — for someone else.

That one day he will finally soften.
Start listening.
Grow.

That the patience you spent years offering
will finally make sense — just not with you.

And that thought can keep a woman staying way longer than her spirit wants to. Or needs to.

Not because she doesn’t see the truth.

But because some part of her is still hoping that she’ll be the one that he finally becomes that man for.

If your spirit tightened while reading this,
that feeling was not nothing. Come join us inside Honey.
