There comes a moment
when the mission ends,
but the body keeps walking
as if orders are still echoing behind you.
This path is quieter.
No radio chatter.
No countdown.
Just breath, leaves, and the weight
of who you had to be to survive.
The footprints fade—
sand giving way to soil,
tire tracks softening into earth.
Not erased.
Transformed.
Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means allowing the past
to stop marching in front of you.
It means learning who you are
when the uniform comes off
and the world asks something different of you.
Transition is not weakness.
It is courage in a new form.
A willingness to step forward
without a map,
trusting that peace can be learned
the same way survival was—
one step at a time.
🕊️ If you’re walking this road,
you don’t have to do it alone.
There is life beyond the last patrol,
and healing waiting on the trail ahead.
