dear me

JoyJoy

Dear me,

I hope you don’t mind that I replaced you

I have to admit

It’s a relief having you gone
I think I’m doing a better job
I understand your need
to try fixing the people around you

I get it

But I’ve learned that it’s not always needed

Not everyone wants to be fixed

And not everyone needs to be fixed by you

Sometimes

Holding their hand while they fix themselves is enough

Sometimes

Drying someone’s tears is the sweetest thing one can do.

    this is Powerful!
    more Power to your self-excavated
    Emancipation
    may your efforts yield you that gift of impregnable self-worth
