epilogue.

"They may not have loved you again,
but you still risked your heart.
You still tried for something that you believed."

you are lucky.
because that's what made you strong.

the truth is that,
specific chapters of your life cannot be avoided.

sometimes,
you have to go through the pain of falling in love with the wrong person.
so that you can learn how to fight for your heart.

sometimes you have to take the wrong turn.
you must make a mistake,
to truly connect with the reality
even if the failures,
were merely just detours.

but everything you thought was an error was actually an opportunity.
to broaden into the type of life,
that you were always supposed to be intact.

the nature of love, career, and happiness,
that were always intended to be yours.

yes.
i understand how difficult it is.
it hurts.

but we can't focus on the people who left.

you don't have to despise them.
do not sabotage them in your mind.

instead,
love them without getting attached.
appreciate the lessons they taught you.

and if someone wishes to be a part of your life,
they certainly will be.

right now,
you have to focus on you.
yourself.

perhaps right now,
your journey isn't about falling in love.

maybe your journey,
is all about hope.

you're being asked to remind yourself,
of the beauty that life has to offer.

maybe even right now,
you have been given the opportunity
to reclaim your joy.
to allow it to be something you deserve.

see?

maybe,
your journey is about you.

maybe right now,
you've been reminded;
those who walked away,
were always taking you back to yourself.

you are not rushing your heart.
you are not relying on another person to fix it.

instead,
you are doing that on your own.

you are healing.

always remember;
love is unique like a fingerprint.
crafted by two different beings.

as well as within that,
it is always a peculiar and lovely thing.
an outgrowth of who you both were at that point in time.

in moving on,
in dealing with the aching of your heart,
and in rebuilding,
you grow.

you become a different person.

as a result,
the love you require,
the love that will sustain you,
encourage you and meet you right where you are,

that grows as well.

that changes.

"and this is entirely the point!" " i smiled as i sealed my ballpen.

i've been writing in this journal for like...
i think a couple of months now?

it was extremely beneficial to me.
knowing how detailed my journal is,
i believe i should write a book.
hmm.

as i cover my journal,
i realized it.
it was the final page.

it's the final chapter.

i'm finally feeling better.

and the story of us..

i know our chapter is coming to an end.
although, i didn't want it to end in the first place.

however, all good things must come to an end.

and that is why i am going to conclude our story.

end.

-

this might seem like a happy ending to you,
but in reality
love is the thing that ruins everything,
everyone,
and eventually you.

pain is the cost of the joy love brings.
