Moving On ...

If there's one thing she learned, it's that people move on.

There are just some that do it better than others.

She will lay there wondering if she was ever enough to make things work; enough for him to choose her;

Dust will collect over the remains of her shattered heart that's buried beneath the graveyard that is her chest,

Once weeks pass, the mourning will lessen and within days, those tears that were once seen as a weakness were watering something beautiful,

And despite still being able to hold something that felt like death so close to a place where her heart beats,

A tiny sensation stirs inside of her,

Through the pain, a miracle grows and although it takes months, it blooms into clarity.

The better part of her will find rational for why she had to let him go.

She will realize that she was always enough,

And how it was his loss that he never saw her value:

That she is beauty and grace, she is grit and ambition; her confidence drives the sexiness of her strength and her forgiveness is why her endless capacity to love will never burn out.

So she will purposefully make space for someone else who knows she is enough.

She doesn't know who that person is or when they are going to come into her life nor is she in any rush to find them,

Because through self-discovery she will understand loving herself is the key to feeling enough,

If he truly loved her,

he would have fought for her despite the struggle,

he would have stayed with her despite the inconvenience,

he would have chosen her because she was worth it all,

he would see she was greater than enough - but everything more,

Now she gardens this sacred space with self-respect and dignity, pouring love into the dirt and digging out the remains of the heart she had given; nurturing, loving and growing an even bigger heart.

It's in that moment, when she is ready to bloom with the rest of the world that's moved on too.
