I am processing your honest essay; if Letting go is an act of cowardice is the bravery of holding on to be applauded? That takes a toll too does it not? To make the decision anew each time is perhaps the most difficult of it all.
I hear you, Doc, my contention is that one never really "lets go", these 'self-righteous' self-harms never really heal and their memory diminishes you.
I reread your essay and it deserves many more reads. Much here to unpack. In all that we let go and hold on to I hope that we are able to keep ourselves whole and happy. Have a good Sunday. ☕
The 'silences'the 'unsaid' have their messages too.

I'm so happy you returned to it, thank you for letting me know. And isn't writing about not writing *everything*?
