That's life.

There's joy, and there is bound to be regret.

That's normal.

You'll feel exhilarated sometimes, and sad sometimes.

That's all part of you, and in the end, it will all blend into a better version of you.

Getting better isn't about forgetting, but about understanding.

Accept that everything that seems impossible has its reasons.

All separations happen because each person has a more fulfilling path to walk.

Self-completion isn't about letting go, but about moving on.

Self-completion is about always being there for yourself.

Every time, it's a different full moon.

Every time, you are a more abundant and complete version of yourself.

You've finally walked this arduous path.

You've finally reunited with yourself.

Thank you for reading!
