Today, I said goodbye to a piece of my heart.🤍🐴
Life has a way of humbling us.
From the time we’re young, we’re taught to chase our dreams. Work hard. Accomplish goals. Build a beautiful life.
What we aren’t taught is what life really looks like.
Most days are ordinary. Some days are hard. A few are extraordinary. And then there are days like today.
Days that break your heart.
Days that remind us that no matter how much we plan, prepare, or hope, some things are simply out of our control.
Today, I said goodbye to Willow.
I only had her for nine short months, but sometimes the greatest lessons don’t come from the longest chapters. Sometimes they come from the ones that arrive unexpectedly, change us deeply, and leave far too soon.
Willow came into my life for a reason. She reminded me to slow down. To be present. To find joy in simple moments. To appreciate the journey instead of always focusing on the destination.
Today, the most loving thing I could do for her was let her go.
And while my heart is heavy, I’m choosing to focus on gratitude.
Gratitude for the time we shared.
Gratitude for what she taught me.
Gratitude for the people who have supported me through both the joyful and difficult moments.
And gratitude for my intūn family, who continually show me grace and allow me the space to pursue both of my passions. Your kindness and understanding mean more than you know.
Even in the hardest moments, I know I am blessed.
So today, I hold on to the love, the memories, and the reminder that some chapters aren’t measured by their length, but by the impact they leave behind. 🤍
