Saying Goodbye to Someone I Thought I Couldn’t Live Without.
When we finally said goodbye, it didn’t even hurt.
This was the first thing that I ever published and I’m still very proud of it. It took all my strength to put something so personal out into the world, but I was and still am so glad that I did. It allowed me to move on from something (or rather someone) that happened a really long time ago that I just couldn’t let go of. Perhaps it will help you too.
“I thought it would crush my soul entirely. It almost did the last time. And the time before that. And the time before that.
I didn’t think I would be able to live through it this time, but I did. This time there wasn’t a single tear. Maybe it’s because we’ve already said goodbye so many times before. Maybe it’s because it never lasts. Maybe it’s because I’m numb to the pain now. Or maybe it’s because it’s finally time.
Because as much as I love you, I can’t live with you in my life anymore.”
