Farewell NAW

Something to remind myself of later

To whom it may concern,

It's hard to let go sometimes. I know this.
It's easy to fall into a fantasy, a new challenge, a distraction.
It's easy to look away when things right in front of you seem too difficult.
It's easy to sink into the comforting feeling of maladaptive daydreams.
And it's understandable why you would want that.

You are a beautiful being with so much to give, and everyone is not always going to see it.
It's not your job to convince people that you are a gift to this world.
It's not your job to make yourself easier for public consumption.
Your only job in this life, the only one that really matters, is to be true to yourself and push to create the life that you want to live.

Retreating into your own mind, the next distraction, or your new obsession isn't going to make you feel better over time.
It only numbs you right now.
Your life is not dictated by anyone else, it's created by you - by your actions and choices.
Are you making choices to create the life you want?
Maybe you need to be your next obsession.
Maybe you are your next challenge.

It's time now.
Start asking if what you're doing is serving you.
Is it creating a life you want, or is it just a new distraction?

I'm letting go, releasing you. I just wanted to say goodbye. I have so much respect and adoration for you, but it's not reality, and it no longer serves me. Thank you for sharing your life with me during the time we had. Thank you for expanding my world. Thank you for being the incredible person you are. I wish you nothing but love and a beautiful, passionate life. But now I need to step forward into my new, self-driven, passionate life.

With care and kindness.
