Finding Happiness in Parting

A Journey from Tears to Smiles, Regret to Growth

True relief isn't found in stopping the tears. Instead of simply crying, I can look back on everything with a smile.

The feeling lingers. There are regrets, but I understand the reasons behind them. There is regret, but I also understand that my regret isn't necessarily shared by the other person.

I can still cherish the memory; I can still feel that the feeling is precious. That feeling is the most precious. It's where we are pure and where we grow.

I hope that feeling, in the end, becomes the reason each of us finds happiness, not an obstacle. We parted with tears in our eyes but finally understood with a smile.

Letting go isn't about forgiveness, but understanding. Letting go isn't truly letting go. It's confirming that we are truly not suitable for each other and that I deserve ultimate happiness.
