you’re free to wish things ended differently without trying to fix an unsolvable problem.

Missing someone is not always a sign you should reunite with them.

It does not mean you should forgive them.

It does not mean you should toss aside the pain they put you through in the past.

It might hurt to ignore their messages.

It might kill you to block their number.

But sometimes, you have to walk away for the sake of your own mental health.

Sometimes, the right move feels like the wrong one.

You are allowed to mourn the end of a relationship.

You are allowed to question whether you made the right decision by cutting them out of your world completely.

you’re free to launch the pros and cons through your head one more time.

you’ve got the option to lose sleep debating whether you should give them one more chance.

All that is normal.

It is part of the healing process.

Wondering whether you made the right choice is not a sign you made the wrong one.

Its a sign you have a heart.

Of course, sometimes the right thing feels mean.

But you have to give yourself permission to be selfish.

Leaving does not mean you never loved them.

Leaving does not mean you were unwilling to put in the effort to fix things.

Chances are, you loved them more than you loved yourself.

Chances are, you spentmonthstrying to fix things.

But some things cannot be fixed.

Stop feeling like the bad guy for taking care of yourself.

They will never be able to see things your way.

You are allowed to move forward without their weight dragging you down.

You dont have to read their texts.

You dont have to have any contact with them.

You are allowed to disappear.

You are allowed to ignore them to make it focus on what is best for yourself.
