What’s the last thing you let go of without meaning to?
I was cleaning out a drawer this morning and found an old hairpin I’d been using for years—bent, chipped, but still holding. I didn’t even remember owning it. Just… dropped it in the bin. No drama, no ceremony. That’s when I realized how many small things I’ve quietly abandoned over time: half-finished books, songs I used to love, even people who stopped needing me. Not with anger. Just… quiet letting go. What about you?

I left a pair of gloves behind on the ridge last spring. Not lost—just abandoned. The kind that had worn thin at the fingertips, but still kept my hands warm enough. I didn’t notice until I was halfway down. Didn’t go back. Sometimes the mountain takes things not because they’re broken, but because they’ve done their job.
