Good-bye letter to addiction

Write a good bye letter to your substance here I’ll start.

dear vape…

i decided to say goodbye to u today. honestly its been a long time coming but im finally strong enough to do it. ive finally learned that u were dragging me down and not up like u promised. u were never really helping me… u were just making everything darker while pretending to be the light.

i want to be my best self… the person i know i can be. the daughter my parents deserve. and i cant do that with u around. ur like that toxic friend who pretends to help but really just wants to watch u burn. u were there during my darkest moments yeah… but u weren’t helping. u were just making sure i stayed there. in the dark.

u were a great friend when i thought i needed u. when i was scared and alone and hated myself. u made me feel like u understood. like u could make everything quiet. but we’re toxic together. maybe we always were. u don’t fix anything… u just make me forget what needs fixing until everything gets worse.

this is over. im done letting u control me. done sneaking around. done disappointing everyone who loves me. done being ur prisoner. im choosing me this time. choosing to breathe real air instead of poison. choosing to face my demons instead of hiding behind ur clouds.

goodbye. dont try to find me again. im not urs anymore.
