Healing comes in different waves. Last week, you were the only person on my mind. The only person I wanted to write about. The only person I wanted to hear from.
Today, you’re just another memory. Someone I used to know. A lesson to learn and grow from.
I’ve been spending this time alone to self-reflect, pray, and tend to inner child wounds I didn’t know I had until you came along. The old me would have made excuses for your actions, overthink every detail, seek out closure, and try to understand why?
But I’m slowly learning to accept what is and let go of what’s no longer serving me. There’s no point in living in the past. I’m focusing on myself, my goals, and my happiness.
I don’t regret a single thing. I feel like this relationship ending was the best thing to happen to me. It opened up the door to many unhealed childhood wounds I didn’t know I had.
This experience has brought me closer to my sense of self and thrown me into a place of deep inner work and healing — so that I can grow, mature, and blossom into the highest version of myself.
I now see that my feelings for you blinded me. I wanted things to work out between us so badly, that I ignored all the red flags in front of me. I started to lose touch with myself in the process.
However, I’ve taken my power back. I’ve retrieved the light and joy you stole from me. I have regained the pieces of me I almost lost. I have fallen deeply in love with myself again and found happiness within. I am more self-aware than ever before.
Thank you for helping me realize what I want in my next relationship and what to never settle for again. This entire experience turned out to be a beautiful blessing in disguise. And for that, I am grateful.
Some reminders for letting go and moving on:
- Let people come and go as they please. Not everybody is meant to stay in your life and that’s okay.
- You break your own heart by telling yourself to give it another shot when you already know it’s time to let go.
- It’s okay to release the people we love — when they are no longer serving our greater good.
- Love isn’t created when someone sees our worth.
- There’s a person out there that will give you and treat you the full value that you are.
- Don’t ever settle for less.
- Allow yourself all the time you need to heal and grow
- Remember, every time you go back to a past relationship or situation you’re going back to an older version of yourself.
- Set healthy boundaries for yourself in every relationship, friendship, etc.
- Never abandon your own needs, desires, and wants to keep someone around.
- Stop chasing people, and start attracting what you want by focusing on yourself.
- The love and happiness you seek is already within you. You don’t need anyone to feel whole.
- Don’t give your body, heart, mind, and energy to people so easily.
- What’s meant for you will always find you.
- There’s a purpose in your waiting. Trust in God’s plan & timing.
- In the end, things always work out. It might not be the way you planned, but it will work out exactly the way it’s supposed to be.
