Maturing is realising an insecure man will punish you for the qualities that made him want you. At first, your light intrigues him, then it threatens him. Your confidence draws him in, then he chips away at it to keep you within reach.

Your ambition, but only if it doesn’t outpace his. Your independence, but only if it still revolves around him. He doesn’t want to lose you, but he’ll damage you trying to keep you small. And when that man can’t rise to meet you, he’ll try to lower you to meet him.

And some women stay, not realising he’s not keeping you close, he’s keeping you contained. Until you’re a version of yourself that doesn’t outshine him.
