there’s a misconception that grief only happens when we lose people. this is not true. we can grieve circumstances, relationships, missed opportunities. in fact, sometimes when you find yourself plagued with waves of emotion from sadness to melancholy you may be grieving yourself. the version of yourself that you might have been if things had been different, or if only you had said something, or if someone had stood up for you.
life really is just like. you meet people you love them and then you lose them and you never see them again. and it’s inevitable and it happens to everyone and there’s nothing you can do about it
