Goodbye,
Not for long, I'll be back with more but goodbye for now. Before I pack my things I would like to make sure you fully understand that You are Everything. You are all you need, you are all you'll ever have, you are your happiness, you control your love, you protect your heart, you do it all, darling don't you realize how incredible that is how you can be everything on your own.
And you're going to miss your ex, you're going to cry from time to time, you are going to lose people you love, you are going to think you don't belong here, you are going to be chased away from your dreams by others, you are going to be tired, you are going to want to be loved, but in the end it all works out in some crazy painful wonderfully sad way, life will create opportunities out of despair. As long as you love yourself more than anything, you'll survive and hell you'll even get to live the life you've worked so hard to create.
And darling if anyone ever questions your dream you tell them where they can shove it, no matter if you wanna be an astronaut or open a pet shop you need to follow your heart wherever it may take you. Take every opportunity to better yourself and double it. Invest in yourself sweetheart, it always pays off.
And when he sees your growth, you know who I'm talking about, when he sees it and suddenly wants you back you do not let him any where near your heart, don't let him weasel his way back in just to break your ever so strong heart again. No one gets to break your heart twice from here on out. Ex's crave power over you, they need it in order to survive in your life, so darling starve them.
And when some days seem too difficult to weather on your own, when some days you no longer want to fight for the life you're building I need you to know I love you, so does everyone around you. It may not seem like it, it may not feel like it, but you add so much to this world you haven't even had time to figure just how much yet. So when the skies are dark and the winds churning remember you're not alone, this will not last forever (part 78). it's okay to not be okay all of the time you are allowed days to yourself no one should be holding you to standards that are above yours. If one of those nights where all hope is lost and you find yourself in front of a mirror I want you to look in, look in her eyes, look at her scars, look at her tears, and smile point to her and tell her you are Everything it sounds silly but it's incredibly empowering. I love you.
Goodbye for now.
