Some days, I still feel like a mess of memories I didn’t ask to keep.
There’s a heaviness in my chest, as if the weight of it all never left.
But healing, I’ve realized, isn’t about forgetting,
it’s about learning to breathe with the pain still here.
It’s waking up, finding the courage to choose softness,
even when the ache threatens to swallow me whole.
It’s letting the past quietly stand in the corner,
while I build — piece by piece — something new,
something warm enough to hold me through the cracks.
To all of us healing from what broke us, it’s okay if sometimes we’re going in circles.
Take your time. There’s no rush. Healing will come when it’s ready

Not everyone is meant to stay—some are meant to become lessons.
Some teach love without conditions.
Some teach how to find it within.
It isn’t always forever, but it can still be real.

Even the right lessons can come from the wrong people.
And maybe,
in that way,
no one was ever really wrong.
It wasn't forever, but the memory glows like embers in the twilight
