Some relationships are meant to last forever, and some relationships are meant to give us lessons.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to see the good in every situation and every person.
No relationship is one-sided, and its not about placing blame.
Brooke Cagle
Its about being aware of who we become in the presence of others.
In your presence, I couldnt hold my boundaries.
In your presence, I couldnt easily speak my mind.
In your presence, I was walking on eggshells.
I had to let go because I didnt like who I became when I was with you.
I became the people pleaser; I became the victim.
I became old versions of myself that I had worked so hard not to be.
It doesnt mean there wasnt good parts.
If there werent good parts, I wouldnt have been there in the first place.
In your presence, I tried new things.
In your presence, I was vulnerable.
In your presence, I became more comfortable in my skin.
I recognize there was healing, growth, and joy, but it wasnt consistent.
We are human and we are imperfect.
The people in your life should inspire you to be better than you were.
You should leave their presence feeling lighter.
You should leave their presence feeling at peace.
I let go because I couldnt hold on anymore.
I couldnt hold on to waiting for the change that never seemed to come.
I let go because I needed the space to become the person I want to be.
I let go because I needed the room to grow.
