One day

 From Coach Mantas

Julia Roberts once said: One day, they'll realize what they had in you. They'll see the depth of your heart, the strength in your spirit, and the value they once overlooked. But by then, you'll be someone far beyond what they could have ever imagined. You will have grown - into someone who no longer seeks their approval, no longer waits to be chosen, no longer needs their recognition to feel whole.

The space they left, the moments they dismissed you, the times they made you feel invisible - they were all silent gifts in disguise. Because in their absence, you found yourself. You learned to appreciate your own worth, to stand tall without needing anyone else to confirm your value. You built a life that is full, rich, and complete - not because of them, but because of you.

And when they finally wake up to what they lost, it won't matter anymore. Their regret will be theirs to carry, not yours to fix. You'll have moved on - not out of spite, but because life called you forward, and you answered. You won't need closure or apologies. You'll just know, deep in your soul, that your worth was never dependent on their ability to see it.

By the time they recognize who you were, you'll be long gone - thriving, at peace, and completely unshaken by the realization that they took too long to have.
