Another 3AM letter for herself.
Please do not forget to let it go, as life has no "rewind", or "undone" button. At the moment things happen, they are also finished.
Please stop crying when the night falls. I have seen swollen eyes in the morning. I have seen faked smiles in the greetings. I have seen the darkness rip secrets out of people's hearts, and the hidden apathy from the caring folks. They console when you sob, then judge when you stop. So wipe the tears, and close your heart. Although sunrise is nice, sleep is better.
Please do not overvalue memories, as I have seen people laugh at their saddest times in the past, and then cry at their happiest ones. I have seen a girl struggle, questioning every change that ever happened in her life. And by looking back, she never sees the future. By clinging to what is gone, she is missing out what is present.
Please don't ever hurt yourself. Mental pain itself is miserable enough. I have seen a girl who cut herself because the loss of love kept haunting. She remembered him, and all the vibes that never happened again with others. She wished they could come back, and so could he. She laughed in the morning, and cried herself to sleep at night. Then she said she was alright, not knowing how much she hurt the person who cared a whole lot with that lie. But dear. Memories are just what we remember. They are no longer present and will never be the future. And trying to live in the past, is just as quixotic as pretending we are forever 18.
Please remember you can always walk away when the place is filled with painful memories. You can always look away when the tears start falling. And you can always turn away from the relationships that are already broken.
