You keep calling it brokenness, but maybe it’s just residue.
Leftover pieces of a past that no longer serves you.
Fragments of a story that no longer belongs to who you’re becoming.
Letting Go Is Not Losing Yourself—It’s Meeting Yourself Again
Letting go isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about releasing your grip on something that’s already gone.
The version of you that needed that person?
That situation? That approval? That validation?They doesn’t exist anymore.
And that’s not loss—that’s growth.You are allowed to step forward without carrying the weight of who you once were.
You are allowed to let go of the things that once felt like home, but now feel like chains.
You are allowed to put down what no longer belongs to you.

I have to say one thing about Substack that is truly amazing. Some of the writers upon it are phenomenal in their ability to articulate vertical development without using any complex jargon or words (like “vertical development”) to explain what it feels like.
