learn to let go…

most things become unbearable to hold onto but the comfort pet that you once sought in it no longer exists. 

why do i hold onto the trauma of witnessing my uncle flatlining at the age of 8?

why do i hold onto the abandonment i felt when my dad left at 13?

why do i hold onto the chest pains of the heartbreak i felt at 22?

LET IT GO.

so much what could’ve been are turned into never happenings and all we’re left with is the glory of moving on. why refract from that?
