If I’M

going to choice to let my fears go and not hold any more power over me then I have to do the things I don’t want to do.

So as I sit down and write this I know what I have to do for I know holding on to something that I hope will get better over time.

But, the truth is  were at a stand still and I’m not giving it any attention or care and so today I’m just completely letting it go.

I know my emotions maybe all over the place but, I know with time this will be the best decision because holding on has done more harm than just letting go.

I embrace the feeling of being vulnerable for a little while and know that it’s okay to be sad  but, it’s not okay to hold on to something that is not making the present or my possible future better.

If I’m going to walk away I’ve thought about all that I could say and what I will actually say to you and then I do it.

I saw the sadness in your eyes and realize it was in mines too but, it was time to walk away from the past and focus on my new present that felt so much lighter with the less stressful.

If only you had done something sooner but, tonight our story ends and my story of just me continues on.
