Hyenas never fight a healthy lion. They wait. Because a full-strength lion walks through the open and the hyenas just keep their distance,
laughing from the dark.
They're not stupid. They know exactly who he is. So they'll follow him for miles, for seasons, watching for him to limp,
waiting for the wound to show up, for that hungry weak,
for him to fight another lion that leaves him leaking a little bit of strength.
And then the moment he's down enough,
they arrive all together, and they act like they were always that brave.
Now, look at your life, because you've met the hyenas.
They were quiet during your run. They watched your story, but they never replied.
And the season you took the hit, the year everything just kind of fell apart,
suddenly they had a bunch of fucking opinions. Those group chats, they got real busy.
People who never said a word to your face had summaries of your situation.
That was never courage. Hyenas don't attack lions. They attack wounds.
But here's what the lion knows that keeps him alive: The hyenas were always there.
Their patience isn't some kind of compliment, but it is proof.
They never once believed they could take you at your full strength.
So heal. That's the whole move. Not revenge. Not explaining yourself to people.
Just heal. Stand up and walk back into the open.
Because the laughing will stop the moment the limping stops.
Nothing in the wild apologizes. It just goes quiet. And listen, the ones who only got loud when you were down,
their silence when you're back will be the closest thing to an apology you'll ever get.
Accept it and keep walking.
