Narcissists Leave When You No Longer Play Their Game
It is not necessary for the self-centered narcissist to have a reason for leaving, but their departure is often due to the fact that they have discovered someone else who they enjoy more than you. Someone who is considered by him or her to be a “safe heaven and a better catch.” Due to the fact that this situation might alter rapidly, the narc will often want your rear door to remain open.

Why People Turn Their Backs on You

The Urge to Run
The urge to run was bigger than the urge to stay. I had so many reasons to run. , I always thought running never solved anything until one day it did. People say leaving is the hard part but it’s not. Knowing you can never go back is one of the hardest lessons you can learn. I don’t know where it all began. I know that I am not alone in this. I am not the first girl who desperately needed a way out and I know that I wouldn’t be the last. I genuinely felt like I had to run to undo my mistake. I had to try at least. Maybe there I would like myself and finally work on my mental health. Before he died he told me that if we can feel happiness we should be grateful. The more he isn’t here the more I want to run. I always used to say that I wouldn’t leave without him but I can’t stay here without him. It just doesn't feel right. I know too much about this city. Sometimes a city will tell you when it’s time to go.

In this challenge, I want to acknowledge the efforts of another important group: people who loved me in my darkest.

There are days when the morning light feels dull, when laughter rings in your ears but does not stir your soul. You walk the well-worn path of your own choosing, yet something inside you remains restless, unfulfilled. The world calls this dissatisfaction, but the truth is deeper, richer, more complex.
