Sometimes strength means to leave something behind and be determined to give it less and less attention. Sometimes we need the strength and the will to NOT do something, like go back to someone.. because our emotions and “love” we have are no longer a trustworthy compass. A pattern of perhaps self sabotage within us is still attracted to something that harms our mental and emotional sense of worth and peace.

And moving on does not always mean movement, it can be just giving yourself enough space to process what the actual f*** happened and you what don’t want to let happen again. Before we “move on” we review, acknowledge the pain point and the inner child in us that was disappointed, scared or abandoned once again.

Heal, don’t blame.

You’re letting go of a version of life you believed in, committed to for someone, and it’s not just that person, it is the story of hope you built in your mind around them. We walk away from a person, or a potential and a whole future closes off.

The age old bumper sticker sayings can be annoying to hear at these heavy processing points of our lives, but they have truth to them; when one door closes another one opens. Have faith, surrender and ask yourself and what force of life you believe in to have the strength to accept and process this period of your life with grace. Pray to not "go back" this time. Pray for the strength to process and heal. What if we made space for the belief in infinite possibilities?
