Twenty years later, I can finally reflect on the past.
This valley was my home. Some of the people I loved most lived here, and so did a version of me I’ve held close all these years.
Sunday afternoon brought me back to a place in my heart I never wanted to revisit. The tears were real, the memories were heavy.
Letting go has not been easy. Being forced to change was painful, but the hardest part was never having closure.
As I walked this evening, I finally felt ready to say goodbye to a chapter I never quite knew how to close. I’ll always carry the love and the memories. Tonight, I’m making room for peace.
