#let go
“I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up.”
— Lauren Oliver
Ask questions
Like what if it all turns out alright?
What if people see me in a kinder light than the one I’ve grown to expect?
What if I am my harshest critic?
I decided to love myself as I was even when there were things I wanted to be better at. At some point you realise that you are worthy of love regardless of not being your ideal self. That’s what basic human kindness and dignity / respect for life is about
Nurture yourself water your roots and soak your bones in the sun ☀️ wear a pretty flower in your hair
You long for letting him go. You long for getting him back. You want love. You are so afraid of loving again. You miss him. You love him. You hate him. You can’t get him back. You think so much about him.
You are stuck in the middle - can’t let go, can’t stay any longer.
You have to make a step forward. You want to make a step backwards. You are lost. You found yourself.
You are stuck in the middle - can’t let go, can’t stay any longer.
That‘s when you know you‘re fucked up.
slow progress is still progress
my joy doesn’t have to look like yours
Grip too tightly sand slips through your fingers, held with an open palm it remains. Love is freedom
Do you think I can have one more kiss? I’ll find closure on your lips and then I’ll go. Maybe also one more breakfast, one more lunch, and one more dinner. I’ll be full and happy and we can part. But in between meals, maybe we can lie in bed one more time. One more prolonged moment where time suspends indefinitely as I rest my head on your chest. My hope is if we add up the “one mores”, they will equal a lifetime and I’ll never have to get to the part where I let you go. But that’s not real, is it? There are no more one mores.
I met you when everything was new and exciting, and the possibilities of the world seem endless. And they still are… for you, for me, but not for us. Somewhere between then and now, here and there, I guess we didn’t just grow apart, we grew up. When something breaks, if the pieces are large enough, you can fix it. Unfortunately sometimes things don’t break, they shatter. But when you let the light in, shattered glass will glitter. And in those moments, when the pieces of what we were catch the sun, I’ll remember just how beautiful it was. Just how beautiful it’ll always be. Because it was us. And we were magic. Forever.

Disclosure & Zedd - You’ve Got You Let Go If You Want To Be Free
I was stuck in the past for a very long time, reliving painful traumatic moments over and over again. I was depressed, anxious and unhappy. As I learned to let go of the pain of the past and move forward my life became better and better. For me, going no contact with the toxic people in my life was essential. I decided that I was no longer going to give anyone the power to hurt me, not even my family members. It’s not easy to change, it’s not easy to let go of the past, but it’s definitely possible. The first step in healing is to protect yourself from anyone in your life that is abusing you in any way and you will begin to heal and grow from there. You deserve to have a peaceful and happy life and things can and will get better as you learn to love yourself. Sending you love and light today. ❤
