Do you not know that it kills me a little inside to know that you are unhappy, dear friend? It's been so long since I've seen you, and I wish you were here. In place of a shoulder for you to lean on, all I can offer are my words. So listen closely.
You are beautiful inside and out. You have to know that there is a strength inside of you that no one can take away, no matter how hard they may try to break you. It is hard to break habits, as I've said before. But the hardest habit to break is being with someone who you have no feelings left for. We become accustomed to our significant other being there. Not necessarily being there FOR us, but just being there in the same house, at the same kitchen table, and in the same bed. When it comes to habits of the heart, sometimes strength is not all that you need. You also need courage to walk on your own again. You've been alone before now, and you always woke up in the morning; you were always able to breath; you were able to move about as you wanted to. Believe me... you will survive. You always have. Even stitches leave scars, but the wound does heal. It just leaves behind a mark that you eventually forget you have.
More than anything that I could possibly say to you to comfort you, you already know that you can love. And leaving was probably for the best. What you're feeling isn't love, it's fear. No one should live like that. I am proud of you. I am VERY proud of you for finally making a decision for yourself and carrying through with it for yourself.
You are wonderful. Know that.
