Maybe It What Was Never Ours to Keep

Sometimes, it is not the experience itself, but the way we choose to look at it, that transforms how we feel. Letting go - of a job, a relationship, a dream - can feel like loss. It can feel like something is slipping through your hands. Like life is happening to you. That it was unfair. That you didn’t fit. That, no matter how hard you tried, it just wasn’t meant to work.

But what if you looked at it differently?
What if it wasn’t just a door closing - but one opening, for someone else?

Maybe it didn’t happen to you, but for you.
And maybe, just maybe, it also happened for someone else.

When you leave a role that no longer suits who you’re becoming, you create the space for someone who’s been quietly waiting for that exact opportunity. When you walk away from a relationship that no longer feels aligned, you’re not just honouring your truth - you’re making space for someone else to meet them, love them, and fit in a way you couldn’t.

This is the quiet grace of letting go.

We live in a world that teaches us to see life through a lens of scarcity and self - what’s mine, what I’ve lost, what could have been. But in truth, we are all connected. And when you release something that no longer aligns, you are not just freeing yourself - you are creating space for rightness, for wholeness, for someone else’s path to unfold, too.

And there is something deeply beautiful about that.

There is a certain peace in believing that what is meant for you will always find its way - not because you waited passively, but because you forged your path with intention, with presence, with trust. What comes is never random. It’s part of your becoming - the people you are meant to meet, the lessons you are meant to learn, the spaces you are meant to grow into.

But for those things to arrive, you must first create space.
You must be willing to say: this is no longer mine to carry.

And that takes strength.
To not only let it go, but to grieve it, bless it, and be at peace with it.
To believe that by stepping away, you have made room for the right thing - not just for yourself, but for another.

Not from envy, not from lack - but from a deep knowing.
That this was never yours to hold forever.
That something else, something truer, is on its way.

Life is not a zero-sum game. There is no limit to beauty, love, purpose, or success. There is room for everyone, and even more room when we act from alignment - when we choose what is true for us, rather than what is expected or chased or clung to out of fear.

Because when you choose what is meant for you, you quietly return what is meant for someone else. The right relationships, the right roles, the right timing.

And that, in itself, is a kind of grace.

When we stop seeing ourselves as isolated - we stop comparing.
We stop grasping.
We stop trying to become someone else’s version of worthy.

We begin to live from a place of truth.
And in doing so, we stop trying to hold what was never ours to begin with.
And we start receiving, with open hands, all that is.
