If a man stops chasing pay close attention. If a man stops chasing or stops texting do not get it twisted that is not a game, that is not a manipulation tactic, that is a man who has finally realized his true value. He was not born distant he used to be the one carrying the burden of the conversation, alone, he replied instantly to people who took days to respond, he was always available, always ready.

He bought the lie that if he just gave enough of his time eventually he would be chosen but he learned the hard way people do not value what they get for free.
He realized that being always there didn't make him important, it made him invisible.
Even the most patient heart has a limit. He found peace in the silence that he never found in the chase. He stopped trying to force a connection because he realized you cannot beg for attention from people who do not want to give it.
