I spent every day of 2024 missing you.
Were supposed to be stronger than that.
I spent every day of this past year trying to be stronger than that hurt.

But for so much of it, I was not.
I missed you while we were still together.
I missed you while you fell asleep beside me, I missed you when I woke up alone.

I missed you for so long after you left.
But I will not do so for a year and one day.
2025 marks the end of me missing you.
2025 is the year where I stop dwelling on what could have been and accept what is.
This is the year where my triumphs belong to me.
Its the year I embrace my own glories and my failures, knowing Im strong enough to hold both.
This is the year Ill be present.
Ill kiss new lips without comparing them to the past.
Ill start new projects without wondering what you would think.
Ill plan my future with freedom, because it belongs to me.
As the year unfolds, I hope youre happy, too.
I hope youre happy in 2025.
Because Im finally ready to be happy on my own.
And I dont have any more time to waste on being unsure.
