Moving on feels hard not because you’re weak
but because your brain is wired to hold on.
It searches for closure to feel safe
replays pain to feel understood
and craves people like it craves patterns.
So when someone leaves,
it’s not just your heart reacting
it’s your entire nervous system going through withdrawal.
That’s why healing feels confusing
you’re not just letting go of a person
you’re rewiring your brain.
And that takes more than time
it takes awareness.
