The Emptiness Won't Last Forever

Dear gentle heart. I know that feeling — the strange, hollow space inside that makes colors seem duller and moments feel distant. It's not quite sadness, not quite anything. Just... empty. And that can be the loneliest feeling of all.

I want you to know that emptiness doesn't mean you're broken. Sometimes our hearts need to clear themselves out — like a garden preparing for new seeds, or the quiet pause before a beautiful song begins. This space you're feeling? It's making room for something new.

Right now, you might not feel much. And that's okay. You don't have to force yourself to feel happy or excited. Sit with this moment. Notice the small things — the texture of what you're sitting on, the gentle rhythm of your breath, the way light falls around you.

You are still here. You are still worthy of love and connection, even when you can't feel it. The emptiness will lift, maybe slowly, maybe suddenly. But until it does, please be patient with yourself. You're doing the best you can.

In every empty space, there is room for new beginnings.
