This is me saying goodbye to always settling for less than what I want and need.

“

So, it’s over. This time for real.

“

Understand that it is part of the human experience to feel alone, scared, uncertainty at times. It’s all momentary. 

“

Healing is ugly. Healing is painful. There’s no other way to put it. Healing means confronting a heartbreak, head on, and feeling the pain and the agony all over again.

“

You will find peace.

“

Even on days like today, I am also reminded you are the reason I am here.

“

Will it be any less blissful if you do not get to the top this year, but next? Or the year after? Of course not.

“

Some people heal you for a moment but hurt you for a lifetime.

“

Sometimes it’s as simple as accepting the things you cannot change and putting energy into what you can change.

“

I know it takes tremendous courage to submit and surrender to the unknown, but if you want to heal completely, you have to accept that returning to the person you were before is simply not how healing works.
