Im slowly learning that goodbye doesnt have to hurt.
But what hurts is clinging to the past.
Im slowly learning to let go of the things I need to.
God & Man
The people no longer meant for me.
Im slowly learning to stand still when someone walks away instead of chasing them.
That the right people will, in fact, be the ones that stay.
God & Man
Im learning to not analyze my reflection thinking maybe there was something I lacked.
Or something I did wrong.
But rather understanding the difference between being good enough for someone and being right enough for them.
Im slowly learning to stop revisiting my past because I cant change anything that happened there.
And sometimes I wont ever get the answered of why things happened as they did.
That maybe you changed your mind.
Im slowly learning there are some mistakes I cant change.
Some people that might not forgive me.
But that shouldnt influence me forgiving myself and trying to move forward.
That sometimes the best thing to do is learn.
Im slowly learning to not waste any more time then I have.
Im slowly learning to take responsibility for my happiness.
Even if they still meet me in dreams that feel like nightmares.
Im slowly learning to not let other peoples actions control how Im feeling.
Because yes it sucks its over but I cant change it.
Im learning to not focus so much on the things I dont have but rather appreciate what I do.
That one person might be gone but so many others arent.
To stop putting my happiness in the hands of someone else.
Because I did that and they left.
Im slowly learning what its like to really live alone and try and be happy with it.
And knowing that its okay when there are some days Im not there yet.
Im slowly learning to not rely on someone so much.
Im learning to cheer for myself when something good happens.
And learning what its like to be the one to pick myself up when Ive fallen.
Im slowly learning what it feels like to walk into a room alone confidently.
That I dont need a plus one.
Im slowly finding again the things I like to do even if it means doing them alone.
Im learning to find comfort in silence.
Company when Im alone.
And happiness looking back at me in the mirror.
Im slowly learning that letting go doesnt mean Im weak when its someone who brings me to my knees.
Im learning what its like to be alone.
And Im learning that I like it.
