"it’s okay to think about people from your past; it’s even okay to miss them. and every time you do, send them light and love, then let it go."

(i stumbled across this today, here.)

andrew and i broke up, did i tell you that? well yeah, we did. the reasons we broke up are obviously personal, but all i can say is they weren't planned by either of us. that kind of pain, hurt, and heartbreak sucks. being with somebody for six months and then all of a sudden not being with them is the hardest adjustment. but guess what? it's going to get better. why? because i am strong. because i like myself enough to let myself be happy. and when i think about how much it is going to hurt being without andrew (even as a friend), i am going to remember this quote... and how the author is so right. i can think about andrew, i can still care about him as a person, and i can send him my light and love and then let it go.

i can let him go.
