10 Things Nobody Tells You About Leaving A Place (Or People, Or Things) You Still Love.
1. Love is a fickle thing, and it takes new forms on any given day. Somedays youâll wake up in the city you left, with the person you left on your mind, and youâll desperately wish for that life back. Other days youâll want parts of it, and somedays youâll just be happy with the memories. Thereâs no rhyme, no reason, no logic to your feelings, like always - the best you can do is honor them, and hope for the best. Â
2.The things that youâll miss the most will be weird ones, and the things youâll be okay without, the memories that will make you laugh instead of cry, will surprise you.Â
3. Itâs okay to be weak, to backtrack, to wonder.Â
4.  A future without that place/person/thing begins to come into view, and itâs terrifying at first, and maybe it will be terrifying always, but youâre going to make it out alive.Â
5. The what-ifs donât go away, they just change.
6. No door is ever completely closed, which is both a blessing and a curse as you create something new, and try to have answers to unanswerable questions.
7. Youâre never going to have it all together anyways.Â
8. Youâve spent your whole life being soft, and listening to logic instead of your heart isnât going to change that. And, side note: soft is different from weak anyways.
9.Itâs not easy, but youâll begin to be happy it isnât.Â
10. Life will go on. And it will be exactly what it needs to, but sometimes itâs okay to get back on your tumblr and write messy lists with all your feelings, because itâs okay to still feel things, and wonder, and wish for a future that youâre already working to build.
