A really beautiful quote by dushka on quora: 

Whenever I realize "I am not broken, I am healing", I am healing. 

I never liked rain.  

But a few days back I was getting my shoes soaked in puddles and hearing raindrops patter on my umbrella. Feeling my pants turn wet and cold and stick against my legs. 

You taught me that there are things we can't control, and can only accept. You taught me that some types of sadness never leave, and some regrets stay with us for achingly long...maybe forever. 

The discomfort of rain has turned into an appreciation for the quiet amongst the storm. The small discomfort of wet and cold against the thunder and lightning. The undisturbed peace when others are home and dry and I am here weathering the storm. It felt familiar. 

You taught me how to let go. I don't know how it's possible to let go of something that haunts me and hangs heavy on my heart, but somehow, yes.

I can take this with me wherever I go. My regrets. My longings. My sadness. Holding them, and letting go. The balance that can't be explained, as I continue to live.
