grief never goes away. the loss of someone’s presence simply becomes easier to accept with time. just because you accept this loss, it doesn’t mean it hurts less. things will remind you of them - it’s okay to cry or feel sad no matter how long it’s been.
Keeping your personal life private and not telling everyone your side of the story when you're being portrayed as the villain in someone else's story is top tier self-care.
one thing I can always do in the future is look back on memories and not regret almost anything I did, I lived and I did learn but I sure as hell wouldn’t trade it for anything ✨
