I Guess I'm Back (And Yes, I'm Relapsing)
It’s not the kind of return I imagined.
Not triumphant. Not healed. Not whole—
I’m still in the thick of it. Still tangled in the memory of someone I once called home.
Still figuring things out.
Still learning that some loves don’t fade—they just change form.
Still trying to understand how to carry that love without letting it consume me.
There are days I catch myself reminiscing.
Missing him in ways I can’t even put into words.
And in those moments, I gently remind myself of the things I chose not to see back then—
The red flags I painted white,
Because I loved him too much to see clearly.
Healing, I’ve learned, isn’t linear.
Some days feel like progress.
Other days feel like I’m unraveling all over again.
But through it all, I show up.
I pour my energy into growing, into healing,
Into rediscovering who I am outside of the “we” I used to be part of.
It’s messy. It’s hard. It’s real.
But it’s mine. And for now, that’s enough.
After all the internal chaos, I realized something important: I needed to write again.
Writing grounds me. It gives me space to feel without judgment.
I’ve been able—but distracted—these past days.
And honestly, I’m grateful for that.
I’m thankful for the gift of life.
For the support of my family.
For the presence of my friends.
And for the quiet but constant grace that God has given me.
And I believe—I will conquer this.
One breath, one step, one day at a time.
