You can love someone and still have to let them go. It’s possible to want to have someone in your life, and know that isn’t possible.
Sometimes people aren’t able, willing or capable of showing up for us in the way we wish they would.
Releasing them isn’t a declaration that we no longer love or care for them.
It means we love ourselves enough to let go even when it hurts because we are a stand for healthy, honest relationships that inspire connection, intimacy and growth.
No one can tell you what is right for you and what isn’t.
No one can tell you when the relationship is meant to end, or when you are being asked to stay in the game.
But one thing is for certain - you are not required to give yourself away or pour yourself out in order to receive love.

this trauma echoes.
Why am I the one to feel the pain When you try to take my soul away from me? Burn who I was made to be and Called me your masterpiece and Lead me away from the one I want to follow -- Bilmuri, "The Void Approacheth"
Two weeks since the break up. It was hard to not feel like he threw away all the good moments; that every "I love you" didn't mean anything.
I'm feeling better than before. I have so much to look forward to; something I didn't always feel before this. And it's not his fault. It just kind of jump started something in me. Not sure how/what but I'll figure it out.
I think surrounding myself by people who still want me around in any capacity, in any way that I'm able to provide, is the right move. Thank you to those who care about me despite my shortcomings. It strengthens me.
I told my therapist that I was trying to "fix myself." She told me she didn't like that term. "You're taking care of yourself."
I still care about him. I hope he can figure things out. But it's going to have to be without me.
