The prompt is courtesy of Alicia Anabel Santos: Write a letter to an emotion. From the pov calling it forth or releasing it. Write for ten minutes without stopping.
The results (less than ten minutes but I really didn’t have anything else to say) are all mine:
Dear Guilt-
You have to let me go.
I cannot take on the world’s problems and solve them on my own. I cannot fix everything single-handed. I cannot change what I’ve already set into motion and I cannot carry other people’s burdens anymore. My physical body has begun to turn against me and it’s the weight of you that is causing it.
I don’t want to worry about you anymore. I want to go on with my life in peace and harmony and I just want you to go. Let me be OK with my decisions. Let me sleep easy at night. Let me take in cleansing breaths every time I inhale. Please.
You have to let me go.
xoxo,
Raquel Ivelisse
