I lay this here for someone to pick up. I left something that was more than a relationship 2 months ago. Something that lasted 9 years. I could have bared more, but what was to come of it I dare not feed anymore. I had been through a lot with this wonderful soul, but we become corrupt. This corruption bled into every avenue of our lives, and I became something of a monster. Arguing was a piece of our daily routine, no matter how big or small. I allowed rage to consume my being, in which only reinforced the negativity already present. After many repeated cycles, I finally made the decision to put an end to the damage we were causing to ourselves and the things we love dearly around us. Now, even though I know in my soul I made the correct decision, my mind is plagued with the "what if". What if I could just run back and everything be okay? What if we understand how to be now? But after playing all of the memories back in my mind (good and bad), I return myself back to the truth. This is my attachment. I realized that my mind, body, and soul have been so used to the presence of a relationship, family, and purpose. Now I know the pulls calling me back to comfort and familiarity are the side effects. Similar to breaking a habit you've done for a long time. I wanted to share this in hopes it might help those who have trouble grasping their own attachments. Our minds will try to do this every time we make choice to turn away from something you've tolerated so long, even though you know the pain that comes with it. Much love to you all 💜

Hey everyone. A couple of days ago I randomly came across this song and somehow it stuck with me. I usually listen to totally different music and I am not into spiritual or esoteric tracks at all. Still, something about this song genuinely touched me and lifted me up. So I felt like sharing it. Maybe it will resonate with one or two of you as well. What I really like about the message: it reflects a lot of what I have learned on my own healing journey. Yes, we do have to look at our trauma. Yes, we have to face it and move through it. There is no shortcut around that. But we are not defined by what happened to us. In the end, we still have a choice. A choice about who we want to be, how we relate to our past, and what story we continue to tell ourselves. That freedom matters. This song reminded me of that. Maybe it will do the same for you. And yes, it’s an AI-generated song, but that doesn’t take anything away from it. https://youtu.be/fVdykeC1PsI?si=-eT8mseY8jLYTGlm
