Do you also feel the same? You look at your old photos on your phone and you’re contemplating if it’s about time to delete them.

Why still hold on to them?
Would things change if you keep them just a little bit longer?
Would there be a day it will feel right to upload them?

You convince yourself, “It’s done. It’s time to move on.” But how do you let go of, arguably, the happiest time of your life?

You invested.
You grew.
You hoped.
You loved.

You never really prepared yourself for any other scenario. In fact, you kept these photos for a celebratory montage. Supposedly.

I guess this is what mending a broken heart feels like.

I just hope that should I find it in me the will to delete these old photos, I may have a bigger space for new ones…

Because…

I believe …

I will…

I want to…

and I hope to …LOVE AGAIN 🇵🇭
