Naming the Fight to Yourself

Half of accepting something is just catching yourself in the middle of fighting it. These lines are for those moments when your mind is looping. Say them out loud if you can, and change the words below to make them sound like you.

"I'm doing the thing again. I am replaying it to see if I can make it end differently. It already happened. I'm allowed to stop fighting this."

"It already happened the way it happened, and going over it again won't rewrite it. Let me come back to what's actually true."

"I keep pausing my own life, waiting for them to finally become who I need. That change may never come. I am allowed to live my life."

"Letting go of this fight isn't giving up, and it isn't saying they were right."
