Realize that the further you push your feelings down, the deeper they become planted in your veins.
Understand this very well because that is what has happened here.
Feel free and heavy all at once.

Apologize to him, to yourself, to the wind.
Have dreams where you cannot speak.
Let yesterday stay where it is, lean into tomorrow, andbreathe.
Realize that the further you push your feelings down, the deeper they become planted in your veins.
Understand this very well because that is what has happened here.
Finally allow all of those emotions and wishes and disappointments to grow.
Jeff Isy
Feel everything youve sent away, and feel it deeply.
Recover on your own.
Come home to yourself.
Miss him but dont see him.
Know you still love him but do not chase him.
Be too proud to delete his number but continue to draft texts youll never send.
Slowly break free from the pain and then run back to it, butneverto him.
Remember kissing him like it was the last time and realize that it was.
Something that actually resembles reality rather than what you wish it was.
Swear to yourself youll do better, and then do so.
Stop reaching out for hands that will only hold you in the middle of the night.
Stop pretending that you dont feel what it is you do.
ReadThe Year Of Magical Thinkingand cry every 15 pages.
Take three ibuprofen after a late night at the bar with your friends.
Hope it kicks in fast.
Roll over to the side of the couch where you slept last night and check your phone.
Get up, find your glasses, and tiptoe out of your best friends loft in Detroit.
Drive home with only the company of falling snow and the voices singing from your speakers.
