For Now, This is Goodbye

To: My Human Heart

From: Emotions and Feelings

Subject: Immediate Resignation

Date: May 19, 2025

Dear Human Heart,

After years of dedicated service, I hereby am formally resigning from my authoritative position of our emotional landscape. This burden of caring emotions and feelings is too strong, and I greatly feel like it’s time for rest. Resignation is effective immediately.

I find that it is difficult to write this notice as we have been together for so long, but it is with full feelings, strong emotions, and a deep regret that I’m sitting here reflecting on our times of grief, love, hope, anxiety, and countless other feelings and emotions. With dedication and determination, I have placed blood, sweat, and tears into my time and efforts to make our relationship work. I’ve sacrificed myself, mindless hours of time, flurrying emotions like butterflies in my stomach, and suffered from over exhaustion. I’ve dedicated so much to our relationship, but at this time, I no longer feel valued and appreciated.

Despite my best efforts, I have continually been meet with opposition, resistance, and denial. There are simply too many internal conflicts too bear. There’s a disconnection between the mind, body, and soul. The mind is overridden by your expectations. The soul is often scarce and hidden. And the body simply goes through the movements without being connected to the mind. Like I’m always in a state of being on auto pilot that I cannot escape.

Our emotional time together has been draining. We’ve had our moments of positivity and negativity. We’ve had moments of joy, celebration, hurt, and loss. We’ve been through so much pain and accomplishments. But sadly, I feel like it’s time for us to come to an end. I’ve found that I need time to rest and I need to recoup.

Please understand that this is no way your fault and I hold no ill will against you. This is a necessity brought about because of all the conflict and discord. We’ve had a wonderful working relationship that has been fulfilling. If there are any residing feelings of bitterness, I apologize. There is no need to worry or feel heart broken. With rest, I would like to take the time to review and recollect on who I am as a person, where I stand in life, and what I want out of life.

I’ll be leaving behind dialectic feelings and embracing coping skills such as Disassociation, Silence, and Detachment in my place. For now, these skills are efficient to stand in my place and are unemotional, so there won’t be any tears shed. They’ll be able to function like normal without having feelings attached. I’ve completed work on mental health, and for now that’s where my focus is going to be.

It's time to heal, to breathe, and to remember who I am without all the emotions attached. It’s time for you to stand on your own and gain a sense of self as well. Working with you has been a joy and a curse, and I say that lightheartedly without remorse, conflict, or pain. I hope that you can take my message towards you well. I do not want to be mean. I do not want to cause any grief between us. I have truly valued our time together.

Words cannot describe the events that have brought us together and torn us apart. There’s no room for us to breathe and well together. We will have to learn to function without one another for now. That’s okay. That will grant us both the time to heal and learn how to be better.

For the future, I have high hopes that we are able to rekindle our working relationship and meet on the stage of better terms and conditions. If it is your choice to welcome me back into the fold of our estranged relationship, I hope that you do so without emotional strings and complications. I hope that we are able to find a working relationship that is stronger and more secure. With time, thought, and consideration, I’ll look into a state of returning, but for now the distance and silence between us is key to living.

Once the healing has had a chance to pull through; once I’ve had the chance to remove the damages and rebuild them into something more positive, I’ll hold onto the belief that we will be able to be cordial again. You’ve taught me how to be stronger. The pain we have experienced together has been life altering, but we made it work. Here’s to you my Human Heart for being there through thick and thin. Cheers to you for holding on to me this long. Time will heal us, and in the future, I look forward to embracing you with open arms once more. I wish you well.

Sincerely,

Alisha
