“Healing isn’t forgetting.
It’s choosing not to go back.”

— J. Elahi

We all time-travel back to the pain

once in a while.

I used to live there.

Visited often.

Stayed too long.

Now I live my life.

I travel.

I exercise.

I smile.

I laugh at myself.

I choose optimism on purpose.

So going back there—

that’s no longer an option.
