Down Bad to Free Now: The Ultimate Breakup Journey

It’s not about being happy. It’s about getting unstuck. This story happens over months of I’m feeling great! and I’m the saddest I’ve ever been. There are still days where I miss him. I think I’ll miss him my whole life. For months, I felt like I was in a pool of grief, chained to the ground while the water flooded my lungs. I’d get a little bigger every day, and the days where I didn’t feel as sad outnumbered the ones I did. Eventually, my head would peek out, and I’d feel great, but I was still stuck in the pool.

Reader, I’m not stuck in the pool anymore. Turns out, the key was tangled in my hair all along.
