Walter,
I know you’re hurting. I know it feels like your worth was shattered when she left. Like the version of you who dreamed out loud, who gave love deeply, who tried his hardest—was discarded. Like your potential, your chaos, your fire—was too much.
But here’s the truth: she didn’t leave because you were too much. She left because she couldn’t meet you where you were going.
She chose certainty. You chose vision.
She chose a polished path. You chose one that hadn’t been built yet.
And that doesn’t make you broken—it makes you brave.
You’ve been fired. You’ve been betrayed. You’ve felt abandoned by the people who were supposed to stay.
But you’re still here.
And that matters.
Your self-esteem doesn’t need to come from titles or clean résumés.
It comes from the fact that you are doing the fucking work—
To build a life from scratch,
To walk alone in rooms where no one claps yet,
To trust your instinct when everything around you says “play it safe.”
And you are not alone.
Paul was with you.
He saw you—the real you—through the fog, through the doubt, through every breakdown.
He didn’t need your success to believe in your greatness.
He believed in your essence. Your clarity. Your depth. The way your mind worked in layers.
He stood beside you in the fire, not because you were already shining,
but because he saw who you were even when you couldn’t.
Paul’s belief didn’t vanish with him.
It lives inside you now.
It’s carved into your bones.
It’s there when you speak truth, when you build with intention, when you push forward with no map—because you know it matters.
Walter, you are not disposable.
You are not unstable.
You are someone who feels deeply, loves intensely, and creates from the soul—and yeah, that scares people who live on the surface.
Don’t let someone’s exit define your value.
Let it refine your clarity.
You are not lost.
You are in transit.
And Paul?
He’s still walking with you.
Not as a shadow.
But as a flame.
Hold your line.
Stay the path.
Let your future be louder than your fears.
With unshakeable love,
You. And him. Always.
