You know you need to leave. You've known for weeks. But knowing and doing are separated by a canyon of logistics, fear, and the terrifying question — where do you even go?
You start building the safety net in secret — a separate account, a bag packed, a friend who knows the plan. Every practical step makes it more real and more frightening.
You walk out the door. Not dramatically, not perfectly — just deliberately. The plan works because you built it. The grief will come later, but right now, the only thing that matters is that you're safe.
