the first heartbreak. the friend you thought would stay forever. the version of you that didn’t make it to who you are now. this section is about loss - the kind that lingers, the kind that teaches, the kind that forces you to grow. some goodbyes happen in an instant, and some take years to fully sink in.
it’s about grief, not just for others, but for the versions of yourself that didn’t make it here with you. it’s the ache of letting go, even when you know you have to. |
this is the in-between - the messiness of trying to move forward while still looking back. it’s about feeling lost in love, in identity, in the version of yourself that doesn’t quite fit anymore. this section holds the confusion, the heartbreak that doesn’t make sense yet, the lingering weight of past mistakes and unanswered questions. it’s about being stuck in that space between who you were and who you’re trying to become.
|
this is what comes after the breaking - after the grief, the searching, the letting go. it’s about the love that stays. not just romantic love, but the love you build with yourself. the friendships that feel like home. the quiet moments where you realize you’re happy, even after everything. this section is about healing, about learning to trust love again, and about finally choosing yourself.
