Breaking up in the New Year with a significant other is like mourning a death. You experience many feelings; sorrow, dread, confusion, remorse, freedom, and relief after it happens. It is not easy to let go. Being by yourself allows you time to reminisce about many things from the past. My advice is don’t cling. It was not in your power alone to avoid the breakup. You will miss much but also want to forget much. By letting go, there is a new beginning around the corner and also a sense of peace.
Billions of us are on this life journey. Our family members and friends come and go, and with them, experiences come and go. I ask myself, “ To what end?” Perhaps we should take a lesson from Mother Earth. Seasons come, go and return. In this New Year, we hope to return and be stronger, brighter, and more reverent toward our existence and the beautiful world around us. Happy🍾New Year.
