I stand behind that statement. Over the past 20 odd years, I have studied human behaviour, (and lack of). I’ve left, and been left. I have broken hearts and had my heart broken. I have let people down and I have been let down. I have no doubt this will continue as it is called life. There is one significant difference. I can say with 100% conviction that I know this:

Leaving is hard, but also the BEST thing we can do for ourselves. We can ‘go back’ in our minds, but we can never really ‘go back’. Besides, those statements: ‘I just want us back’, or ‘I just want myself back’, or ‘how it used to be’ is shit. Why? Because the mess we are in now, is because of the past. No one wants to go back there! And the mind that got us here, is not the mind we need to get us out of here. In effect, we really need to ‘change our minds’ – literally. Be certain, clear and calm in all the chaos. And that, my friend, is why we are here.
