Hey you,

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I though of you, and that’s what led me to write this letter. I want you to know that the time I’ve spent away from you hasn’t been because of anger or resentment. It wasn’t even because of anything you did. I needed space to find myself again, to reclaim parts of me that I’d somehow let go of in all the hustle and grind of life. It’s quite natural for someone to drift away, just as the leaves fall from the trees. We are all getting back to nature.

I’ve been on quite the journey since we last spoke. I’ve learned how to walk in my authenticity—like, truly walk in it. It’s funny how you can go through life thinking you know who you are until you realize you’ve only been scratching the surface. I needed to strip away the noise, the expectations, the should-have-beens, and really get back to the heart of who I am. It wasn’t easy, but it’s been so worth it.

In the process of finding myself, I also lost something else—my definition of spiritual awakening. But instead of feeling lost, I found something deeper. I found the true meaning of Christ. The love, the light, the forgiveness, and the peace that’s rooted in unconditional grace. I now understand it’s not about rules, groups, or rituals, but about love—pure and divine love that sets you free. That’s been the real shift for me, and it’s changed everything. Today, I’m writing you as the free woman I’ve always been, I hope that you’ve found freedom in your life, too.

I also released all the fears I didn’t even know I was holding onto. It’s like once I let go, my heart opened, and suddenly, I began receiving love in ways I never imagined. I’m more open, more vulnerable, and more present. And because of that, I’ve reclaimed my energy and my time. The way I show up in the world now feels more like me than ever before. How is your essence, are you, the real you?

As I write this, I can’t help but smile thinking about all the memories we shared. Boy, we had a time! You and I, we’ve got timelines full of memories—ones filled with laughter, early flights, and sisterly moments that will forever be etched in my heart. And while that’s all we have now—memories—I know those memories will last a lifetime. They’ll always be there, even if our paths no longer align. It’s a good thing to move on, to let the tree grow.

But you know what? I think that’s okay. It’s okay to outgrow one another. In fact, I believe it’s a sign of true love—even in friendship—to give space for growth, for healing from wounds we never talked about, and for evolving into who we’re meant to become. It doesn’t take away from the bond we had. It just means we’re both growing in different directions now, and that’s beautiful in its own way. Our friendship was what it was, but now, the ship sails on. We are on NEW ships, and the views are even better.

So, wherever you are, I truly hope you’re as blessed as you can be. I hope you’re finding yourself too, in the way that’s meant for you. I hope your journey is full of love, light, and growth.

Until we meet again—whether that’s in this life or the next—I’ll hold onto the good times, knowing that we were exactly what we needed for each other in the moments we shared.

With love and gratitude,
Giselle
