letter #2: to the one learning to let go
dear you,
i know letting go isn't as easy as people make it sound. it's not something that happens overnight. some days you'll feel like you're finally moving on, and then suddenly, a memory, a song, or a simple thought brings everything back. healing isn't always a straight path, and that's okay.
letting go doesn't mean what you felt wasn't real. it simply means you're choosing yourself over the pain that's been holding you back. it means accepting that not everything is meant to stay, no matter how much you wished it would.
it's okay to miss them without wanting them back. it's okay to grieve the future you imagined. but don't spend so much time holding onto what you've lost that you forget to make room for what's waiting ahead.
one day, you'll wake up and realize they no longer cross your mind as often. the pain will soften, your heart will feel lighter, and you'll smile again without forcing it. healing takes time, but it always finds those who keep choosing to move forward.
so be patient with yourself. take it one day at a time. you're not losing a part of yourself by letting go, you're making space for the person you're becoming.
with love,
??
