goodbye to a ghost // postmortem
writing this was an act of catharsis. for the latter half of 2024, i had been so depressed over my lost love that i had begun seeing countless posts on Twitter about devoted, pining girls who would forever wait for their one true love to return, no matter how long it took.
i used to take comfort in that very crowd, until i didn’t. i remember feeling a visceral sense of, “no, you should let go of the one who abandoned you; they aren’t worth anything anymore.”
such a feeling is what gave rise to this particular work... though my emotions kept leaving me in a dizzy uncertainty, i have eventually circled right back around to no longer needing the approval of bygone people.
