I created this blog because, after losing the one close friend I had (her choice, not mine), I found myself with no one to talk to. Keeping everything bottled up has taken a toll on me, and I know that’s not healthy. Writing has always been a comfort for me, so this space is where I’ll share what happened and how I’ve been feeling.

I’m not expecting anyone to read this or respond. I’m doing this for myself — because I need an outlet and because I love to write. Still, a part of me hopes that one day, she’ll come across these words. I never got the chance to speak up for myself, to say how deeply hurt I was.

It’s painful to realize how much time, energy, and understanding I gave to someone who couldn’t offer the same in return. I listened without judgment, showed up when it mattered — so why couldn’t I be given that same respect?
