BUT IN THE END YOU JUST HAVE TO LET GO

by Robert M. Drake

It is okay if you do not have the words right now to express what you feel. It is okay if you don't even know what it is you are feeling. It is okay if you don't know where to begin. If you don't know if a chapter in your life has ended. It is okay if you are not sure about your future. Not sure about your past. About what you were thinking. It is okay if you suddenly fell out of love with someone. And especially if you did not want that to happen but it did. It is okay if you don't know how to apologize. If you are not sure if you even have to. It is okay if you wish to move on. Or even if you wish to stay where you are a little longer than expected. It is okay to cry. I mean to wake up and really cry. And or to fall asleep crying. It is okay to wish you could change things. To wish you could go back and make all the bad things right. It is okay if you are not happy with who you are. At least not for the time being. It is okay to work on yourself. To take as much time as you need until you feel comfortable in your skin. It is okay if you don't feel the same. Don't feel the same about certain things. Like your career aspirations. Certain people. Certain places. Certain things that used to speak to you. It is okay to move away. To find new homes within new people. To find what you love in new places. It is okay. This is your life. And only yours. And life is too short to worry about everything. To overthink about all the details. Because it's okay. And it's going to be okay. Just be yourself. Just take your time. Everything will be okay.

I’ve been following R.M. Drake on Facebook for a while and what he writes really resonates with me. When I saw he had a book available, I decided to read it. I struggled with the format a bit as there seemed to be some unusual line breaks. I had to reread some of it to follow it all. But, again, what he writes really resonates. I think this a great book for anyone who struggles with boundaries, self-love, and disappointed expectations.

Donated to goodwill - maybe will help someone but that’s not me
