Just circling back on your audacity, because the confidence it took to reappear deserves acknowledgment. Not engagement. Just documentation.
Let’s be clear. I didn’t forget. I didn’t miss anything. I didn’t overlook your message, your timing, or the assumption that access resets itself if enough time passes. Silence wasn’t an accident. It was intentional, sustained, and very much aligned with my decision.
Audacity is assuming quiet means available. That distance is temporary. That restraint is an invitation to try again. It’s believing that because you’re ready to speak, I’m obligated to listen.
Per my last silence, I already observed what happened when effort stopped coming from my side. I noticed what disappeared when I stopped initiating. I paid attention to what required my energy to exist at all. There was nothing left to clarify after that.
Circling back now doesn’t read as confidence. It reads as discomfort with unresolved access. Silence unsettles people who benefited from availability without accountability. That discomfort isn’t something I’m interested in managing for you.
What’s interesting is how often people mistake composure for openness. Calm for forgiveness. Boundaries for flexibility. None of those assumptions apply here.
I didn’t disengage to provoke a response. I disengaged to end the dynamic. This isn’t a restart. It’s not a check-in. It’s simply me acknowledging the audacity without altering the outcome.
Consider this your confirmation that the silence was, and remains, intentional.
Final Thought: Silence Was the Answer
This message doesn’t change it.
Menace Disclaimer
This is not a reopening.
This is not a follow-up.
And this is not an invitation to explain yourself.
“Just circling back” does not reinstate access, restart conversation, or override a silence that was placed deliberately.
The boundary still stands.
The distance is still intentional.
And the audacity has been noted—without response required.
