Some people pass through your life like seasons, while others settle in for the long haul. We never really know why some stay and others drift away, despite promises or hopes.
And what if, just for once, we stopped looking for complicated answers? Simply imagine three chairs in front of you. Take a moment, listen to your intuition… which one naturally draws your eye?
Chair No. 1: the one that never leaves
This chair represents constancy. The person it symbolizes has known you for a long time, sometimes forever. They saw you before your successes, before your defenses, before you learned how to hide your vulnerabilities. This bond isn’t built on impressive speeches or grand gestures, but on a quiet, faithful presence.
When you’re tired, they don’t rush you. When you doubt yourself, they don’t judge. They simply stay. It could be a family member, a childhood friend, or a long-term partner. Their strength lies in unconditional loyalty, as comforting as a blanket on a winter evening.
Chair No. 2: the one that chooses to stay every day
This chair symbolizes conscious commitment. The person it represents doesn’t stay out of habit, but by choice. They choose you even when the road gets harder, when doubts appear and leaving would seem easier.
They don’t love you only at your strongest, but also when you’re going through more fragile moments. Disagreements become opportunities to grow, not battles to win. Together, you build something: a life, shared plans, sometimes a family. This person doesn’t walk ahead of you or behind you, but right beside you.

Chair No. 3: the one that never leaves, because it’s you
This chair, simpler in appearance, is the most powerful of all. It represents you. You may have given too much, hoped too much, waited too long. You’ve learned—sometimes the hard way—that no one can understand or protect you better than you can yourself.
Today, you’re no longer afraid of being alone. You choose peace over relationships that drain you. You respect yourself enough to no longer accept anything that makes you question your worth. This chair reminds you of an essential truth: staying true to yourself is already a deep and lasting form of self-respect.
What your choice says about you today
There is no right or wrong choice. The chair that draws you in simply reveals what you need most at this moment in your life.
The first speaks of loyalty and strong roots.
The second points to partnership and building a life together.
The third embodies inner freedom and the search for emotional balance.
Our needs evolve over time, just as we do. What matters isn’t the perfection of our bonds, but their ability to weather storms without disappearing.
In the end, the person who stays by your side for the long run isn’t the one who makes the most promises, but the one—or the one you become—who chooses not to leave when life becomes less simple.
