Losing you was not crashing waves. It was a slow burn.

Letting go is tough. Change is hard, but unavoidable.

I used to hate things ending. People leaving. Chapters closing. But I’ve learned that sometimes it’s okay for things to end.

The first holidays without them is just about getting through it.

2019, you provided various challenges along the way. You tested my strength. You proved that life can change at any moment. You showed me it’s okay to take my own path.

Sometimes our bad days are followed by even worse days. We can’t seem to catch a break. And we just wonder if things will ever get better.

Before you let someone in. Before you allow someone to tear you down slowly, but definitively. Before someone starts talking down to you. Before someone starts making you question yourself.

It’s hard to say goodbye to the life we know.
