Que palabras fuertes y lindas. Lo que me duele más es no saber cómo llamar esas personas que eran amig@s pero la distancia y tiempo han cambiada el vínculo. He vivido una vida nómada. Por eso suelo que sigo teniendo cariño por ell@s y me valen mucho los recuerdos que compartimos. Pero a la vez la palabra amig@ tiene mucho peso y no se debe usar lightly. Y con más distancia la amistad se marchita. Aún no tengo la repuesta pero I don’t think it’s bad to continue to have love for them. Maybe one day life will bring us together again

I also have a lot of love for those people that left and that’s special too. I haven’t figured out how to have love for them and it not hurt sometimes, pero el tiempo lo cura todo ❤️‍🩹

Emily, me veo reflejada en tus palabras puesto que estoy constantemente viajando y desgastando recuerdos del pasado, mayormente amistades muy bonitas que, por cuestiones de la vida, he visto deteriorarse y es hora que no puedo dejarlas ir. No estoy lista todavía. Pero duele porque la vida sigue y aunque yo también lo hago, una parte importante de mí sigue atascada en el pasado

Duele mucho, estoy contigo. Pero el tiempo lo cura todo. Mientras tanto estamos las amistades nuevas para ayudar a curar las heridas ❤️‍🩹

I’ve started looking forward to reading your newsletters every Monday. This is beautiful. Again, so relatable. I try to push these feelings down when they come up but I’m also realising how much damage they do when left unattended. Pain of any frequency needs to be brought to the light. Thank you for bringing a calmness to my morning with this piece. ❤️

Thank you for reading me every Monday 🥹 And I’m pleased you found it relatable. Friendship breakups are heartbreaking and a lot of the time we try to move on without speaking about it or really processing it and it comes back in strange and unexpected ways ❤️‍🩹 But as you say, these feelings need to be brought to the light, seen and felt 🥺

look at you!! 🥹 just days ago you talked about feeling a little stuck with your writing and now look at you making me cry once more (while at the gym of all places! hahah) with your words that feel like were written from a list of my own thoughts!

thank you for sharing your more intense feelings, it's weirdly healing knowing I'm not alone in mine 💓

I’m sorry you cried in the gym but I’m also glad that I put these words out there. Maybe you needed them as much as I did 🥹 All in all, we’re never alone in all of these messy feelings, we’re all going through the same things but in different parts of the planet so we’re not really alone even through it feels like the loneliest and most painful thing ever ❤️‍🩹
