« Please stop living in What If and start breathing in What Is. Invest in those who are committed to you, who have proven they are by showing up for you time and time again. Care for yourself and your life. Honor who you are, every single little piece. Find your people. Speak your truth and feel your hurt. Do everything you can to remind yourself that you were someone before them and that you will be someone after them, too. Most importantly, acknowledge how much this particular person meant to you and then start to rewrite their role in your own life. Maybe they weren’t “The One” but a lesson. Maybe they weren’t a home but a stop along the way. Maybe they were simply someone who was meant to jolt you awake while you were sleepwalking your way through your life. Take some time to catch your breath. Stop reaching out. Be less available. Let the idea of them go and watch that image walk away slowly, slowly, slowly into the horizon of your life until they become so small you can no longer see them. And then start to move on yourself. » Words: @mollyburford 📸 @hannaschonberg
