What you're going through is preparation... Life moves like a slideshow: moments become memories, and people become lessons. You don't have to hold on to what hurt; you can honor what it taught your heart. You are allowed to outgrow old versions of yourself, release the stories that no longer fit, and choose softer paths forward. When you reflect, celebrate your progress. When you remember, do it with gratitude. Your future isn't a repeat, you get to write the next scene. Your courage turns lessons into light.
