When they left, a part of you did too now go find it

ER

By ERPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

When you love someone deeply,

they don’t just become part of your life —

they become part of your self-image.

So when they’re gone, you don’t just lose them.

You lose the “you” that existed beside them.

So moving on isn’t finding someone new.

It’s finding the you that no longer needs them to feel like yourself
