Partings

Truthfully I could go back and do everything differently.

That's for you to decide. You can decide which parts of you are worth keeping. This is the most important part. Take your time. Pay attention. The easy part is over. You can go slow. You can stay down for as long as you need to.

• I go where I am loved and bring love to where I go.

You cannot heal what you hide. You cannot heal what you ignore. You cannot heal what you cover. You cannot heal what you avoid.

Turning the page, this part is much longer. It's the healing. The comeback and the birth of the new you. And it is not easy. You have to be all in.

For me, it took two years. I left so much of myself behind. All the parts that I outgrew. It meant not making myself small. Not bending to fit where I don't belong anymore. The feeling of not belonging is a sign that you are supposed to be somewhere else, doing something different. Let it push you. Let it shove you. Let it force you onto a new path.

Take on the messy work and come out on top, still smiling, still strong. I am still a warm and gentle soul with a heart of gold willing to help anyone. Observe what everyone else is doing, but not absorb it. Love people but don't depend on their love. Want people and things but do not need them. Feel everything fully but not dwell. This is the part of my life where I add people who love me, replenish me, bring me peace and claps for my growth. I am not sorry for the time it took to learn my worth.

I am completely whole. My heart is whole. My soul is whole.

I am here. I am me. Comfortable in my own skin. I earned it. I decide what I am worth. I celebrate me. I live life a bit more selfishly. Pursue my own passions more courageously. People love you because you are you. Exactly as you are right now. Not for some version they hope you'll be one day. There is more road behind me than ahead. I intend to make every step as beautiful and peaceful as possible. Just the best of me.

Then he walks in, guiding me toward a fresh beginning. I love you. Thank you for being here ♥
