✨ One Year Later… ✨

✨ One Year Later… ✨

One year later, I’m not revisiting the details.
I’m acknowledging the distance.

Today marks the anniversary of a breakup that once felt heavy, disorienting, and consuming. At the time, I didn’t know what life would look like on the other side of that ending — I only knew something had to change.

And it did.

One year later, I’m not measuring progress by pain anymore.
I’m measuring it by peace.

I notice the quiet now.
The steadiness.
The way my body no longer braces for what’s coming next.

There was a time when protection was necessary to survive what I was in.
Now, protection is no longer required.

I don’t regret what it took to leave.
And I don’t rehearse what I endured to justify my freedom.

I’m grateful — not just for getting out, but for what remained:
clarity, discernment, and healing I could not have produced on my own.

God met me in the breaking.
And one year later, I can see what He carried me through.

This anniversary doesn’t pull me backward.
It reminds me how far forward I’ve come.

Today, I stand free — and God receives the glory.
