Im not going to tell you to stop missing them or to snap out of it.

Whichever situation you find yourself in, Im telling you to allow yourself to miss them.Feel it all.

If youre missing them, there must be a reason.

But heres the thing: You might not even be missing them.

You could be missing yourself.

Before the expectations weighed heavily on your shoulders; before the stress of the world caught up to you.

I need you to take solace in this fact instead of running away from it.

Reflect on those times to find out what you did differently.

Maybe you felt super confident when you dyed your hair bright red.

Maybe you partook in more activities or sports.

Maybe you were more in tune with nature and you went for more walks.

You miss parts of yourself.

You probably miss a little bit of everything, and thats why youre so hurt.

But you must not shy away from feeling the way you do.

It doesnt mean you havent moved on if you catch yourself thinking about them, darling.

It simply means youre a human being.

You must be gentle during the process.
