People change, and so do feelings. Like seasons shifting without permission, they arrive unannounced and leave without warning. Sometimes, the changes aren’t the ones you hoped for—they’re jagged, unexpected, and hard to swallow. But life doesn’t wait for our approval. It moves, relentlessly forward, asking only that we keep pace.

So you take a deep breath. You feel the ache, acknowledge the loss, and let it settle like dust on a windowsill. Then, with quiet courage, you accept it. Not because it’s easy, but because clinging to what once was only delays the beauty of what could be.

You let go—not out of weakness, but out of strength. And with each step forward, you reclaim your life. You rediscover joy in places you never thought to look. You learn that moving on isn’t forgetting—it’s honoring what shaped you while making space for what’s still to come.

And somewhere in that journey, you smile again. Maybe not right away. But eventually. 😉
