When to say goodbye

When the soul can no longer breathe.

When you have to pick up the pieces of your heart from the ground.

When, after a while, you have to pick them up again.

When you have to think about how to say something to avoid fights.

When your skin is drying due to lack of caresses.

When your lips are no longer kissed with passion and tenderness

When your name does not appear in their future plans.

Saying goodbye is the greatest and most difficult act of self-love a person will ever have to do.

Drop. Release and release again.

I´m here thinking why it is so difficult to let go.... Of course, we have something that sustains us. Something to which we are connected and that is precisely what human beings continually seek: Connect. Belong.

When letting go we have to go against that impulse to be connected to something or someone. Many times it is not enough to know that this connection hurts us, the need to HAVE, connect, belong is much stronger.

The other option is frankly very terrifying: you are not connected, you do not belong to something, nothing is sustaining you (not financially, not sexually, not intellectually).

Saying goodbye and letting go is throwing yourself into the void. Who jumps into the void without a parachute? without insurance?

When we say goodbye we don't know what is going to happen in our lives, we only know that what we know will no longer be there and then what is left? only us and many times in our hurt mind that is not enough.

I DID IT.

I feel proud to have chosen me.

And I never want to stop choosing myself first.

It was very difficult and took me years. But yes it is possible. Seriously, yes you can.

There will be scars, of course!!! And how beautiful it is, they are the traces of having lived, of having bravely risked. Just make sure that these scars do not prevent new adventures, do not limit your trust in others, do not prevent new caresses or kisses, do not put limits on your life.
