Now they sit, watching from the sidelines, furious that you’ve become everything they tried to suppress. And it eats at them—not out of love or longing, but because they lost control. You weren’t supposed to rise, but rise you did. Before you even had the words, before you could fully grasp your emotions, you knew deep within that something wasn’t right.

But here’s the truth: they don’t want you because they love you; they want you because you were their source. They miss the fuel you provided, the reflection you gave them of a better version of themselves. They miss the power they thought they could control.
