I know how hard it is to move on, especially, when it is all you’ve known. I know pain means you care and I know caring means holding on. I know the cycle, that is, you forgive to find yourself back where you started. I know you think you’re weak, that giving chances makes you vulnerable. I know some nights you find yourself reminiscing of the good times, before your sun was devoured by sadness, I know it’s hard to let go when you know they are no good to you. I know something in you keeps telling you to hold on but don’t feel too bad for feeling the way you do, for wanting more, a way out. People consist of coming and going, they are made of memories and dreams, so moving on shouldn’t be such terrible thing and letting go of people who don’t care shouldn’t be hard, so move on, but do it for yourself and no one else, so it to prove yourself that you’re worth saving, do it because you should love yourself more than anyone else and do it because deep down, you know that you deserve more.

Sometimes our habitual thinking takes over and we end up complaining or being upset about things that don’t actually matter to us. Break the habit, before you get worked up about something, ask yourself, Do I really value this enough to exhaust myself emotionally over it? ask yourself if it is worth to have it play on a mental loop in your head. Ask yourself if it is worth your energy or worth your words. You are in charge of how much space a thought takes up in your life, take the time to carefully consider what you let be a part of your being and your spirit.

You’re a beautifully, woven and intricately designed masterpiece. There is not a single soul like yours. There is not a single person who sees the world like how you do. There is no one who has gone through what you’ve gone through— all of the ups you’ve celebrated and downs you’ve climbed out of. There is no one who thinks about life the way you do, nor anyone who interacts with others like how you do. Your identity is entirely your own, you are made of beautiful stories and life changing experiences. You are made of your favourite songs and the books that have changed you. You are made of the people you love and the places you’ve explored. Who you are is truly unique and wonderful. Who you are is worth celebrating every single day.

Signing off, your lovingly,
