A little piece of grief. I lost my best friend, my soul mate, my mom. I think we try to do things to make up for all the time we spend without the ones we love and lose. Drinking tea, going for massages. These are all ways and means to cope instead of just facing the fact that we are completely lost without the ones we love. We have to learn how to build up the person inside us and learn how to live without them. We have to learn to live alone. I think this journey happens at different times in our lives for all of us, and it's a terrifying one. Grief is heartbreak, grief is loss, grief is not knowing who you are without someone else. We have to learn who we are. Alone.
