I HOPE YOU CAN BE PROUD OF YOURSELF..

Wherever it is in your life that you are learning to let go, I hope you can be proud of yourself. I hope you can be proud of how you've learned to breathe deep and trust, even though it hasn't been easy. 

There was a time in your life when it felt safer to hold on as tight as you could...because, in a world of constant change, you just wanted something you knew you could count on. You just wanted a little bit of control...an assurance that things would work out.

But now, you've learned that you're allowed to do two things at once: you are allowed to grieve what has changed and pace yourself as you head into a new day. Since you've been learning to let go, you've been making room in your life to breathe, think, and dream. You don't know exactly what's next, but you do know you're still here. You do know that the sun is still rising, and every day beckons you ever so gently to not give up just yet.

There have been days that were harder than others.

Weeks that seemed to drag on forever.

And there have also been entire years of life you've made it through, and you can't even remember everything that happened. But you know this: you've been learning how to exhale year after year. And every small moment of letting go is a part of the story you tell.

Of course, there's still a lot to learn, and this is also true: you have already learned a lot. Much more than you tend to give yourself credit for.

So here's to letting go one day at a time.

Here's to trusting this is a way of living you can pace yourself through.
