To my past loves,
As I sit down to pen this letter, I can't help but reflect on the journey we shared. Whether you brought joy or heartache, every one of you has left an indelible mark on my life. It's time to acknowledge the good, the bad, and everything in between and recognize the valuable lessons that each relationship has taught me.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to those of you who brought light, love, and growth into my world. You showed me what it meant to be cherished, valued, and truly seen. The memories we created together will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I am grateful for the love and happiness you brought into my life. Thank you for the lessons in kindness, compassion, and understanding.
To those of you who brought pain, heartbreak, and turmoil, I want to say this: you suck and are not worthy; however, thank you for the lessons learned. Your actions may have caused wounds that took time to heal but also served as catalysts for growth and self-discovery. The turmoil taught me the importance of setting boundaries, self-respect, and knowing my worth. You may have tested my resilience, but you also strengthened my spirit.
This letter is not about dwelling on the past or rehashing old wounds. It's about acknowledging the pivotal role each of you played in shaping the person I am today. The highs and lows, joys and sorrows, all contributed to my growth and evolution. I carry with me the memories, the pain, and the love, knowing that each experience has made me stronger, wiser, and more resilient.
So, to all my ex-lovers and those to come, thank you for being a part of my story. Thank you for the laughter, the tears, and the lessons learned. May you find your path to healing and growth and carry the lessons of our time together into your journeys.
Love,
Erin
