Letters for the Leaving!

I hope you have the courage to walk away from people who make you feel like you are had to love… to let go of the people who leave your heart confused . Let go of the people who make you feel like you are compromising all that you desire , and all that you hope for , and all of the goodness and the beauty that you know exists in this world , for a skinny version of love . Let go of falling in love with potential , let go of falling in love with the idea of someone rather than who they truly are . Let go of the fears you have that keep you holding on to something that hurts , something that is so heavy , something that has only left you feeling misunderstood , or unworthy , or at war with yourself .

Let go of waiting for the people you have always treated kindly , to treat you kindly . Let go of waiting for the people you have always treated with respect , to treat you with respect . Let go of waiting for the people you have always chosen , to finally choose you . Let go of waiting . Let go of holding your breath , just hoping that things change .

Let go . Don’t allow yourself to get comfortable existing in spaces where you know you deserve better . Love is not meant to hurt . Love is not meant to be given in bare minimums . Love does not require for you to be cooler , or less emotional , or less yourself , for you to be worthy of it meeting you . Love chooses you . In the good , and the bad . It isn’t an almost thing . It isn’t something you have to beg for . It isn’t something you have to fight for constantly , something that is always a source of pain and confusion and hurt . There is power in letting go of anything that is forcing you to let go of yourself . Don’t ignore what you know in your heart .

Remember - it is better to be alone , than to feel lonely in what you’re settling for . It is better to be alone , than to try to fit your heart into the hands of someone who does not want to hold it . It is better to be alone , than to fight for someone who is not fighting for you . It is better to be alone , to be your own foundation , than to spend any more of your time waiting for someone to see the beauty in what you are giving them . You deserve good love . Promise you will let go of anything that does not feel that way . Promise to stand up for your heart.

It is hard to let go… but it is important to master detaching from those who are doing more harm then good and save ourselves from wasted time and a world full of pain. It is normal to seek love and validation from others, but we also need to realize when we may be putting others on a pedestal because of our own thoughts alone and not based on who the person truly is showing you they are.

One of the most important things you must do for your being is to be at peace with yourself . In life , you will make mistakes , take the wrong turn , trust the wrong people , realise that in certain situations you could have acted or spoken differently - or not have acted or spoken at all . You will have phases that you’re not proud of , done things you wished you hadn’t - but that is what makes you human . The imperfections , the lessons , the realisations , the amendments - these are all a part of being and maturing.

You cannot mature in life if you do not make mistakes that you have to admit to yourself were wrong , and be willing to learn and change from them . You cannot grow if you are unwilling to outgrow yourself . Most importantly , you cannot be at peace with yourself if you are unwilling to forgive yourself for the matters that make you human . You cannot be at peace with yourself if you unwilling to accept your own apology and give yourself the chance to move forward with your learning❤️🌹
