you learn to move forward when you learn the difference between missing someone and being nostalgic you stop looking through photos- then you really stop looking through photos and you only hold onto them until- that delete button doesn't scare you anymore. it's when you picture yourself happy without them and you realize they did nothing to make you force yourself to start thinking that way. it's the glare that light leaves behind when you take a polaroid; and you stand- shaking the film, as you beg for this photograph to develop completely moving on is accepting that it never will. and that perhaps- it is better that way. it is learning that sometimes the best lessons are cliffhangers
