“You can grieve the good while releasing the grip.”
Not everything that hurt you was bad. And not everything that felt good was love.
Sometimes we idolize the past because we’re afraid to let it go. But holding onto something half-true only delays the life that’s fully yours.
You can honor the good times without making them a prison. You can say, 'That mattered to me,' and still walk away.
Today, choose truth over nostalgia. Choose freedom over fantasy.
Find a photo or object from the relationship. Hold it and say: 'I honor what was real. I release what was not.' Then set it down with intention.
Declutter one small space today — a drawer, a shelf, a corner. Say: 'I’m making room for what’s next.'

Letting go honors what mattered.
