This is a book about moving on when you don’t want to. It’s a book about receiving a future you’re not ready for. It’s a book about accepting that the hand we are dealt is not always the one we want to play, and yet we have to learn to keep on playing anyway.

This is a book about letting go. It’s about letting go of pain and expectation. Of self-loathing and self- glorification. Of the traumas that we never thought we’d heal from and the love that we never thought we’d lose.

This book is a mixture of lighthearted, joyful articles and serious, somber ones. Because the truth about letting go is that it doesn’t take on a single shape or form. It happens in stops and starts. In stretches and setbacks. In moments where the world feels wide-open and days where all your doors are slamming shut.
