The moment you can breathe again

That moment when you let go of what you've known you needed to let go of for a long time but despite all the excuses you gave yourself (and him) you kept holding on. Thinking you knew better. You didn't. He does. The Big Man upstairs. I'm letting you go. And I feel like I can breathe again. Like all the things I've been telling these young girls is something I've been needing to listen to myself and I just didn't want to know it. But I do. And I am.
