My father once told me:

“The game ends when the king falls, not when a pawn takes your queen.”

It took me years to understand what he meant.

Losing something precious doesn’t end your story — it just tests your strength.

People will come and go. Some will play fair, others won’t.

But none of that defines your downfall.

The real loss only happens when you give up —

when you stop standing tall, stop protecting your peace,

stop believing in your worth.

So, keep your composure. Keep your crown steady.

The game isn’t over just because you’ve been hurt.
