You have decided you are done at least five times. You blocked them, deleted the photos, told your friends. Then a song comes on and you are right back where you started.
You do not have a willpower problem.
The four real reasons you can't let go: a body still in withdrawal, a future that never existed, known pain that feels safer than the unknown, and the version of you that only existed with them.
Then why trying to let go is itself a way of holding, why even acceptance becomes a grip, and why it all floods back the moment they move on.
A story about a monkey and a fistful of rice. Patanjali's abhinivesha. And what actually opens the hand.
