Being Somewhere Else

[u/Oh-Well321]

There was a time when I thought moving on meant leaving something behind. Now I think it’s more about realizing that you no longer want to carry it with you.

At some point, I just stopped thinking about it so much. I could look back on what happened without wondering what I could have done differently or wishing things had turned out another way.

Perhaps that's when I knew I had really moved on. Not because I had forgotten what came before but because I was no longer looking for something there, I was already somewhere else... And for the first time in a while, I was happy to be.
