  • The Aftermath - Moving On

    by Crystal Tinsley

    Letting go isn’t the hard part.

    Staying gone is.

    The guilt hits.

    The silence hits.

    The part of you that used to over-explain and over-give starts panicking.

    But here’s what I’m learning:

    Feeling guilty doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

    It means you’re healing.

    You’re not abandoning anyone.

    You’re just finally refusing to abandon yourself.

    You are allowed to disappoint people who expect unlimited access to you.

    Let go.

    Rise up.

    Become.

    by Crystal Tinsley

    Change is inevitable. You can either cling to what was, or you can step into what could be. The unknown isn’t your enemy - staying stuck is.

  • Closure Isn’t Coming. What forgiveness really means.

    by Crystal Tinsley

    You may never get the apology. That’s not your problem. Closure isn’t something someone gives you. It’s a decision you make. Forgive for your peace. Release for your future. Rise anyway.
