Dear Aleïa,

There are times when you will have to choose: to hold on or to let go.

You can only choose one, and it could either hurt you or kill you.

-Rough decision, right?

But you have to put yourself first, think of yourself first: are you brave enough to let go? Or are you strong enough to hold on?

There will be times when you feel like giving up on certain things, but I encourage you to hold on. Hold onto everything you love, don't let them slip into your fingers, want to know why? Because you have to fight for those things, you fought hard to get them, why wouldn't you fight hard to keep them? But when those things break apart, when they all fall on you and they feel too heavy to carry, I want you to still try, not once, not even twice, try until you can't anymore. And then, you can only let it go.

It also happens with people, Aleïa. You love them so hard, you give everything but it seems like you are never enough. But even then... we still fight. We fight for them even if they don't make us special anymore or they make us feel like an option. Whatever they tell you, you still fight. And yes, hold on. Hold on, because I swear, you will get tired of holding on one day or maybe it drives you to something even more beautiful and continue your story. We'll never know.

Sometimes we hurt each other, and that's fine. You can love someone but not be in love with them. You can care for someone and still be mad at them. You can love them but still not want them in your life anymore. And if that ever happens to you, please think of what you both deserve. Don't hurt people with your presence, don't let them hurt you because you aren't enough for them to make them stay. When they don't want you anymore, and you're hurting from holding on: let go.

Thank them for the memories, thank them for letting you go, because they made way for someone more worthy of you, more worthy of your love, to find you. Thank them for letting you be found by someone better. And Aleïa, if they don't want you, if they are not sure about you, just walk away and remember, you have no right to hurt them, just because they hurt you. Only acceptance can heal you, only acceptance will let you free.

If I don't have you with this person, this was our story. It's a story too beautiful to be true, it felt like forever but also lasted like seconds. This is not a fairytale and I am not a princess, but I am a Queen of my own. And maybe, I don't know... right now I'm not certain of anything, but just maybe I am just one heartbreak away from my King.
