It is the moment when a woman stops waiting.

She stops not because she is hurt or she is disappointed. Not even because she stopped loving.... It happens because the source of her movement shifts. Before, it was outside of her, now, it is inside. This is very noticeable. Even if she says nothing. Before, her energy moved in waves. An inhale when hope appeared.... An exhale when uncertainty returned... Her state depended on what happened outside her. She could be strong, deep, mature, yet part of her system remained open. Like a door left unlocked. It wasn't her weakness. She did it because of her belief... Her faith... hope... 

Then something shifts. Not loudly nor theatrically. And one day, that door simply stops being an entrance. She knows it inside of her! The door does not slam shut. It just stops being a point of access. And in that moment, the woman stops living in a state of waiting... or even rush... you know that FOMO state? hunger for everything just in case... 

Everyone feels it. Especially the one who was used to her waiting... being so sure that she'd never ever leave for sure... Because while she waits, a certain configuration exists between them. She holds the field... He exists inside that field... Even if he does nothing... Even if he is silent for weeks or months. Even if he “cannot.” His place remains reserved inside her field... because she was waiting... for "what if?" 

But the moment she exits waiting, the field disappears. She did not destroy it. She simply no longer needs it to move forward... This is the moment when a man suddenly begins to feel uneasy. He may not understand what exactly has changed. Outwardly, everything may look the same. She does not create drama, she does not demand, she does not accuse, she may even be calmer, warmer, softer than before... She doesn't even bother trying to contact him. 

But something is gone.

The place where he used to be the center of her inner movement. And this cannot be restored by effort. Because true attachment is not held together by words, promises, or even feelings. It is held together by the direction of energy. While her energy moves toward him as a source of meaning, the system exists. When her energy returns to herself, the system stops being the center. Why? because it was always a one-way road: as long as SHE was willing to give, the connection continued. because HE never wanted anything more than what existed between them. 

Yes, the connection may remain. The memory may remain. The gratitude may remain. Even love may remain.  But dependence disappears! And with dependence, his power over her inner state disappears too.  This is a very subtle difference. The connection does not vanish instantly. It becomes something else. It stops being an anchor. It becomes part of her story... Not the center, not the condition, not the direction. It is her experience. It is her past now... It's like when you remember yourself as a child going on a ride of the Ferris Wheel for the first time - you just remember that moment as your experience in the past. A stepping stone for something greater! 

And this is when the most important shift happens. She stops trying to decode what he feels. Stops analyzing what he meant... Stops waiting for him to “finally decide.” Stops living in suspension... in doubt... in confusion... in endless frustration... in uncertainty... in being a doormat, who is waiting to be noticed... She begins to build a life that no longer depends on his ability or inability to move.

This is not revenge, not a performance of strength, not a game or some manipulation. This is maturity. She simply grew up... And this moment cannot be undone. and... he may feel it. He may even want to reach for her. He may even want to try returning to the old configuration...  But the old configuration no longer exists. Fortunately! Because it no longer exists inside her.

He may remain in the same state. He may carry the same hesitation, doubt, confusion, analysis paralysis, another strategies, the same dissatisfaction, the same internal split for years. He may want change and fear it at the same time. He may live between “almost” and “someday.” But she no longer lives there! She moved out! 

She did not move to another place. She moved into herself. And that is the only place from which real life begins. Not the life where a woman waits to be chosen. What a nonsense! WOMAN chooses! hear it again - WOMAN CHOOSES! and you wait now... 

Right now she chooses the life where she is given offers from life and abandunce from Universe. 

This is always felt.  Especially by the one who was once her center in her now and her future...  and then became her past so fast!
