A Brand New Day with No Regrets
To let go isn't to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn't
leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn't about
winning or losing. It's not about pride and it's not about how you
appear, and it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go
isn't blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and it doesn't leave
emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It's not about giving in or giving up.
Letting go isn't about loss and it's not about defeat. To let go is
to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having
an open mind and confidence in the future. Letting go is learning
and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the
experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow.
It's about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will
soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change,
and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is
realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy.
To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and set yourself free.

The cortex message was concise and to the point. No hidden agenda. No hidden meaning. And the message was clear.
Bel sighed softly as she read it, scanning over the words quickly before deleting the message forever into the black. She leaned forward a bit, setting the cortex on the table before tilting her head in deep thought, not an ounce of sadness on her face. Not an ounce of regret.
“Bad news, Bel?” She smiled at the deep voice and turned her head to look at him, her skin flushing in response to the huskiness. His eyes were curious, yet calm as he looked her over.
She shook her head before leaning back against his chest, his arms automatically wrapping around her as she tilted her head back to rest against his shoulder. “No. Not bad news. Expected news.” He knew what had happened. And they had comforted each other before finding comfort in each other. “Decisions were made in both instances and I have no regrets. It was time to think about me and besides, with you… how could I ever think of being alone?”
They kissed each other before she snuggled back against him, rubbing her hands along his arms while she curled up against him. They were fully clothed, just content in being in each other’s company.
The past couple weeks have been the best she has had in so long. She felt good. Content. Happy. Even if this was temporary, even if this isn’t forever. She felt like she her coin finally dropped and it showed her fate. To stay on Hale’s Moon. Be the best damned medic she could be. Help Taia raise Jonas. Be the best Sayasi to her adopted kin. Enjoy her life with him for as long as it will be there. And never regret a day of her life.
“So many choices were made. So many lives hit that fork in the road. I figured we would travel in the same direction. But she chose the other path. I do hope she’s happy. Because I know I am. I have absolutely no regrets.” She turns her head and draws his head down to kiss him as she let that part of her life drift away in a cloud of memory. Content to move forward in her life.
She laid back against him, sighing contently while she watched the sunset from his window, both curled up on the couch and enjoying the day of just being together.
