Why letting go feels like a weight lifted

I won’t lie, I cried a lot. Yesterday felt heavy, but today I woke up after sleeping like a baby and realized,I’m okay
Maybe it’s relief. Maybe it’s acceptance. Maybe it’s the beginning of healing. I don’t know yet.
But for the first time, I’m not scared of being without him.I’m actually proud of myself for choosing me.
To anyone going through the same thing: you don’t have to be okay immediately.Cry, talk, vent,sleep, laugh, repeat. Healing doesn’t have a timeline.
And somehow, one day you wake up and realize… you’re stronger than you thought

The most important thing I’ve learned throughout this process is realizing that I can wake up feeling a completely different emotion every day. One day I would wake up feeling incredibly happy, and the next I would wake up wishing I didn’t have to.

I hope you always wake up feeling happy. But if one day you wake up feeling sad again, please don’t be upset with yourself. That’s also a part of the process.

the first morning where you realize you’re okay for a few hours feels so strange, but i started trusting those moments instead of waiting for the sadness to come back.

i love that you said “choosing me.” what was different about yesterday that made today feel a little lighter?

Honestly, I don't even know......I think yesterday I was just overwhelmed by everything...Maybe I finally started accepting that it's over, or maybe it's the relief of choosing myself. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

Let yourself grieve. As time goes on you will cry less and then accept it.

I'm definitely allowing myself to grieve instead of forcing myself to be okay. I know there might be hard days too, but I'm taking it slowly🤍

I hope anyone who feels this way will feel good like you one day. I hope one day I will be like you. You are a very strong woman. Good luck, sister. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

im so proud of you. Remember healing isn't linear but it doesnt mean you are going backwards, its always in waves

Thank you🥹 I really needed to hear that. I'll remind myself that if a hard day comes, it doesn't mean I've gone backwards.
