Dear Final Pages I Refused to Turn,
I kept re-reading you.204Please respect copyright.PENANAfT5Sh6HtND
As if going back would give me204Please respect copyright.PENANAx5d9mRZt1L
a different outcome.204Please respect copyright.PENANAdQgmkQFGIo
As if holding on tighter204Please respect copyright.PENANA56wLsnDtkE
could undo the unraveling.
But no amount of effort204Please respect copyright.PENANAVprhJQ6u3E
can rewrite a story that was already meant to end.
And that's okay.
Some stories aren't meant to be lifelong.204Please respect copyright.PENANA7j0AS8XKMA
Some people are meant to be chapters,204Please respect copyright.PENANAXSaGb0QZND
not the whole book.
It took me a long time to stop blaming myself204Please respect copyright.PENANABs2CSgCcIT
for what didn't last.204Please respect copyright.PENANAn9lX9Z5aBj
To stop calling myself "too much"204Please respect copyright.PENANA9L5i4Izpj2
or "not enough."
Now, I see that letting go204Please respect copyright.PENANAOeLa2j2VbQ
isn't failure.204Please respect copyright.PENANAuPvjR3iize
It's faith.204Please respect copyright.PENANAegVaNGukE4
In what's ahead.204Please respect copyright.PENANAwM6xIc4Guq
In who I'm becoming.
So to the endings I tried to revise—204Please respect copyright.PENANABqc23myq7e
I release you now.204Please respect copyright.PENANA12Dtmfqm4f
I trust the story will continue,204Please respect copyright.PENANAyn3nCFcmVg
even if you're no longer in it.
With quiet gratitude,204Please respect copyright.PENANAnuhSRlfG6y
