𝗟𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀...
You lost to a cheaper fee.
You lost to a higher promise.
You did not lose forever .. but you acted like you did.
You went quiet.
You stopped caring.
You made it too hard for them to admit you were right.
So they found someone else instead.
You did not lose the vendor ... you abandoned them.
That is on you.
