This year taught me the most beautiful lesson of my life: to take a moment, breathe, and let go of everything that kept stopping me from becoming the best version of myself. I realised that I needed to show up for myself, just the way I did for those who didn't value my presence. The fact that no matter what you do, you'll never really be enough for the people who just don't want to value you. The moment I let go is the moment | liberated myself. Now, I'm learning to save my energy for the ones who genuinely care; the people who reciprocate the same kind of love, honesty, effort, and softness ... the kind I deserve. No offense, but I just don't want anyone from my past to return on the pretext of showing me how they want to be there for me. For I've closed certain doors in order to honour my peace, and have chosen not to reopen them for good.
