Everything You Need from Them Is Really Something You Need from Yourself

I loved you. I loved you with everything in me, with every glance, every unspoken word, every moment where my heart ached for you in silence. But you… you loved someone else. And that is the kind of pain that doesn’t just break you—it reshapes you. I watched you laugh with him. I watched your eyes light up in a way they never did for me. I told myself that if I stayed, if I waited, if I loved you hard enough, maybe—just maybe—you’d see me. Maybe one day you’d wake up and realize I was the one who truly cared, the one who would never leave, the one who loved you even when it hurt. But love doesn’t work like that, does it? "You can’t make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that." – Warsan Shire Loving You Was a Fire That Only Burned Me I convinced myself that your happiness was my happiness, even when it meant watching you love someone else. I told myself that if I stayed, at least I wouldn’t have to bear the agony of losing you completely. But what...
  The Healing Power of Letting Go of the Past There are moments in life when we are forced to keep things inside—words that we hold back for fear of vulnerability, rejection, or simply not being able to find the right way to say them. We convince ourselves that silence is easier, that burying our emotions will somehow make the pain less real. But eventually, the weight of these untold words starts to take its toll. They linger in the corners of our mind, like ghosts, always present but never fully acknowledged.

There’s an emotional paradox that occurs when we care for someone who doesn't feel the same: the more we love, the more we bury our truths, hoping that by remaining silent, we can protect ourselves from the pain of rejection. But what we don’t realize is that silence can be just as damaging as confrontation. The Cost ...
The Last Letter I Never Sent: A Love She Never Knew "Loving someone who doesn’t love you back is like waiting for a ship at the airport." Some love stories are never told. They remain trapped in stolen glances, in unfinished conversations, in silent prayers whispered to an indifferent sky. They exist in the cracks of reality, in the deep corners of the heart where unspoken feelings gather dust. This is one of those stories. This is the story of loving someone who never knew. A love that was real for me but invisible to her. A love that existed in my thoughts, in my dreams, in my quiet surrender to the fact that she was never mine to begin with. And this is the letter I never sent. Dear Love, "Perhaps, the saddest thing is not unrequited love, but loving someone so much and never having the courage to tell them." I don’t know why I’m writing this. Maybe because I need closure for a love that never had a beginning. Maybe because my heart is tired of carrying somethin...
