Let me hit you with something you probably haven’t heard from your therapist because they’re too busy validating your heartbreak: You didn’t lose your soulmate. You lost your fucking illusion. And I get it — that hurts more. Because the fantasy? It was perfect.It made you feel chosen.It gave your chaos a purpose.It was your [...]
Yesterday I couldn't sleep. Which is what? The 4th day in a row, sleep eluded me as I tossed and turned, unable to get comfy in a cramped and cold space. And then? I cried from the soul. You know the cry? When you can't catch your breath and you feel the pain radiating from [...]
“The heaviest conversations are the ones we never have.” You ever sit with someone, and there’s so much you want to say, but the words feel too heavy to push past your lips? Not because you don’t know how, but because you’re afraid of what will come next. It’s funny how silence can be louder [...]
What if all my trying only gets me close, but not quite. Have you ever tried so hard that your bones remember the weight of the effort, even when your mind has already begun to forget? I have. There are nights when I lie awake and think about all the versions of myself I’ve given [...]

But Not Always for the Right Reasons. You haven’t heard from them in months. Maybe even years. You spent countless nights wondering if they ever thought about you, if they ever regretted leaving.

There’s a version of me I thought I’d be by now. Someone a little steadier, a little more sure. Someone who wakes up with less ache in their chest and more clarity in their eyes. I keep waiting for her — that future self — to show up. To step into my shoes and make [...]
