You’re Allowed To Say Goodbye To Your Past
You can make new friends, in a new city, and live a life so full that you don’t miss your past. You’re allowed to be happy.
I Need To Remember You So I Can Survive
So after we part one day in that place where lovers part, I won’t chase after your voice, trying to feel something that no longer exists
You Never Really Lose Someone If You Loved Them Deeply
When you lose someone, you don’t just lose them once. You lose them every single day, you lose them slowly.
This Is Me Moving On
This is me accepting that sometimes beautiful things end. This is me coming to terms with the fact that sometimes leaving is an act of love, too. That sometimes you have to walk away from something soft and hauntingly real, that sometimes hearts don’t align.
Time Won’t Let Me Forget You
If You Are Struggling To Let Go, Try Holding On Instead
That’s also why, when we’re struggling to let go, the way forward is holding on even tighter.
The Little Things That Make Me Believe In Something Bigger
The world is a scary place, and knowing what to believe in is even scarier at times. But as terrifying and lonely as things might seem, there is more beauty than people choose to see. Around every corner, surrounding every encounter, and between every moment, there is beauty. You just need to take a moment to find it, and hold on to it until the next.
What It Means To Be Someone Who Holds On To Everything, Even If It Hurts
You find yourself speculating what it would be like to be like the others. To move on without looking back, to listen to that particular song without tears streaming down your cheeks, to delete the photos of a time when everything was perfect in a heartbeat. You miss the ones who broke your heart.
Collecting Memories
What do you collect? I collect wine corks, art supplies, cycling swag, puppy love kisses, trucker hats and tank tops. I also have a collection of special adoptions from Iraq, Turkey, Dubai, and my time spent while overseas.
When You Look Back On Your Life One Day
I hope you can say that you made the most of this life. I hope you can say that you lived.
