Grateful for goodbyes.

Goodbyes are painful, yes. Especially ones that we don’t expect. For the things we thought are everlasting.

For me I have experienced one of my most painful goodbyes a few years back. The one that left the most scars.

It took a long time to let go, and it took a long time to let myself heal, and to allow myself heal. To open my eyes and see that there was more than just pain in that goodbye.

And for that goodbye, when I thought it was over. But there was another silent goodbye that followed, a goodbye for everything that has happened, every feeling and every pain. The mark that means making peace with the past and the mistakes on my end.

I am grateful for everything that has happened and the painful goodbyes that I have endured.

My heart is stronger than what I thought it could handle. And I am capable of much more than I thought.

I am growing and learning from my mistakes and in the process, healing.

Even though it would probably hard, a long and rocky road. and probably the ones that will hinder your progress will not be the bad memories, but the good ones, the ones that you dream and you smile and you cry afterwards because it’s in the past.

But it will come. No matter how long it takes, the day will come. Let yourself heal, be kind to yourself.

And I will open my arms for better hellos in the future
