Years ago, I heard someone say that how you end one season determines how you start the next. Sometimes, how a thing — a job, a relationship, a chapter of life — ends is not completely in your control.
You can’t force a good ending, but you can do everything in your power to be in integrity with yourself in regards to the ending.
And sometimes, endings are just messy and hard, and you have to give yourself grace and kindness in knowing you did the best you could at the time.
