Heartbreak tears out walls you didn’t know were boxing you in. What you build next can have more windows.

Loss clears out arrangements you had stopped questioning, including some that were quietly limiting you. That is not a reason the loss was good, and nobody owes it gratitude. It is only that the space afterward is genuinely open, and what goes back up is partly your decision. Rebuilding is slow, and you are allowed to hate the demolition.

Once you have the energy, ask what you want the next version of your life to include that the last one did not. Write it somewhere you will find again. Nothing needs to be built this week, only imagined.
