We are often surrounded by numbers – whether it’s our age, salary, weight or even the amount of ‘likes’ we have on social media.

We are individuals with our own unique talents, experiences and stories. We are complex beings who cannot be pigeon-holed into a single category. Yes, numbers may provide some context or insight but they cannot ever tell the whole story.

Another man. Don’t beg. Don’t argue. Don’t try to win her back.

Chasing someone who walked away doesn't demonstrate love—it diminishes your self-worth. The most powerful response is silence: not as a manipulation tactic, but as an act of self-respect. Protect your peace. Remember your value. Move forward with dignity. If they return later, remember: they made their choice when it mattered most.
