A Farewell Letter Isn’t Just About Goodbye–It Can Be An Embrace For A Positive Future

This letter came to us through the Share Your Story link on this Last Goodbye Letters website. While the writer didn’t indicate how old they are, the writing told me that this person is wise beyond their years. They have been through a lot, but that doesn’t mean the path forward will be the same as the steps already taken. Thank you, Suni, for sharing your letter of closure on your past. Read on for the letter here:

Yo. I don’t even know where to start with you. For real. You were always showing up like you know what was going on but you didn’t. I trusted you. But I was fooled by your telling me “hey girl I got you. You told me I could escape but you lied. The numbness wasn’t escaping all the sh*t I didn’t wanna feel. F—ing drama. Yea, you made it all go away but then it came back with a vengeance. So I had to forget again and you didn’t stop me. I thought you loved me.

You just made me love the addiction. You became the biggest problem instead of all the family, stress, people. I pushed away the people who actually gave a damn. You stopped showing up for me. But I kept hoping that the escape would help this time. Yea, right. I kept falling for it. You’re worse than my most toxic ex.

So, hit the streets, dawg. I may not have all my sh*t together yet, but I’m working on it. And I don’t need you.

Goodbye. For real this time. I’m counting on me.
