Dear mom,

Today I threw away the mascara that you bought me. Why? Because it was empty. It's been empty for a long time. I've pretended that it wasn't empty for a long time. I've kept it because I couldn't let go.

But I've come to the point where it doesn't benefit me to keep using an empty mascara bottle just because I want to hang on to one of the things my mom bought for me before she died.

I know I'm changing, but I don't think change is bad as long as I want the change. Change change change. Everything has to change sometime.

So I bought a new one and I threw the old one away.

And my eyelashes have never been longer or more beautiful. Letting go never felt so good.
