September 2021 felt like a rebirth, though not in a positive way. It was a moment that struck me deeply, and its impact has lingered ever since. At times, it fades into the background, concealed by the facade of a well-functioning life. But on my darkest days, it resurfaces, reminding me that I can never return to who I once was.

Perhaps some would label it as trauma, but I am hesitant to accept that notion. I refuse to acknowledge that I allowed someone to inflict such damage upon me. It might have been less surprising if I had been the cause, but to allow another person to invade my being, coursing through my veins, intertwining with every fiber of my being, and then to witness them shatter everything from within—it feels foolish, even naive.

There is nothing I desire more than to proclaim that this phase has passed. To reassure myself with the timeless adage, "This too shall pass." Yet, I find myself questioning its validity. Will it truly fade away? This question haunts me daily. I wish I could aptly articulate the sensation, but it defies simple description. It is not a burden that I carry, like a lost traveler weighed down by an immense suitcase, desperately searching for the right train. No, it is more akin to being that traveler at the station, with a modest carry-on, prepared to embark on my journey. Yet, somehow, the train's regulations forbid small bags from boarding. Bizarre, isn't it? That's precisely how it feels. I now find myself waiting at the station, yearning for a compassionate conductor who will grant me passage, while stubbornly clutching onto my small bag. As fanciful as this may sound, I assure you it is tragically true. It permeates every action and influences every decision, as if I am a marionette, manipulated by an unseen puppeteer.

"It is by Allah's mercy that you are gentle to them; and had you been harsh and hardhearted, surely they would have scattered from around you. So excuse them, and plead for forgiveness for them, and consult them in the affairs, and once you are resolved, put your trust in Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who trust in Him." (Quran 3:159) I strive to hold steadfast to these words, but I must admit that some days are arduous. Some days, I manage to follow them, while on others, I choose not to.


Every time I think about you, a flame of anger dances within me, casting a shadow over the remnants of what we once had. It's a peculiar sensation, a fusion of resentment and longing, as if my heart is torn between two worlds. Seeing you happy, oblivious to the pain you caused, intensifies this mix of emotions, forcing me to question the fairness of life.

In the recesses of my mind, thoughts of you linger, but not in the way one might expect. It's not a desperate yearning for your return, nor an echo of lost affection. No, it's a haunting remembrance of how dare you. How dare you inflict such wounds upon my soul, leaving scars that may never fully heal.

I don't love you anymore. That's a truth I've come to accept, like the setting sun bidding farewell to the day. The love we once shared has withered, evaporating like morning dew beneath the scorching rays of reality. Yet, despite this newfound liberation from the chains of affection, there remains an odd fascination with your presence in my thoughts.

You see, you're like an enigmatic character in a novel, someone whose actions and motives provoke both frustration and intrigue. It's as if the ink that writes your story carries a bittersweet charm, drawing my pen to narrate the fragments of our shattered connection. Though the love has faded, the power you hold within my imagination remains captivating.

Maybe it's the contradiction that lies at the heart of human nature—the intertwining of resentment and fascination. It's a paradox we can all relate to, for we've all encountered moments of injustice, moments that make us question the cosmic fairness of it all. It's through this lens that my words seek to resonate with those who have known the sting of betrayal and the confusion of emotions that follow.

And so, I write about you. I write to unleash the fury and anguish that still linger within, to give voice to the thoughts and feelings that refuse to be silenced. Each word is a brushstroke on the canvas of my catharsis, an attempt to navigate the complexities of our shared history and the aftermath of your actions.

In this process, I find solace and healing, for writing grants me the power to redefine our narrative. It allows me to transform pain into art, to extract meaning from the chaos of emotions. You become a muse, a character upon whom I project my frustrations and aspirations, as I mold and shape the story that once held us together.

So, as the chapters of my life turn, and the memories of you fade into the distance, I no longer hold onto love, but rather the lessons learned. And you, my dear, become a captivating figure in the tapestry of my writing—fascinating, yet ultimately distant.

 


I don't think people truly grasp the extent to which I value friendships. Aside from my family, friendships have been the cornerstone of my life. Growing up, my world was filled with friends, and that's precisely why I hold them in such high regard. For me, they are the most precious and vital aspect of existence.

I understand that life can get overwhelmingly busy, but I firmly believe that should never be an excuse to disregard or neglect a friendship. If someone's idea of a low-maintenance friendship amounts to simply scrolling through my Instagram stories, then those aren't genuine friends.

I don't mind catching up every few months, or even every six months or once a year. All I ask for is to know that I've crossed their minds at least once. You see, my friends occupy my thoughts constantly. Perhaps I don't reach out immediately because I know I'm not the best at texting, but I always anticipate reconnecting when circumstances allow.

Some may consider my sentiments dramatic, but I've noticed this longing within me ever since the last time. Isn't it disheartening to witness a bond that dissipates without warning? Yes, I agree that a true friend is someone who stands by you during tough times, but in my opinion, it encompasses so much more.

It stings to realize that friends don't reciprocate the same level of care that I invest in them. It's a painful reminder of the discrepancy between how I treat them and how they treat me.


 


I'm at work, and I've finished all my tasks. Kelly isn't here today, and I've forgotten what it feels like to actually work again. I'm exhausted from writing nearly 6000 words of articles in just half a day. Right now, I'm simply jotting down my feelings, which, apart from tiredness, are a mix of excitement and anticipation.

I'm really looking forward to this week, anxiously waiting for good news from another company. What excites me the most about this opportunity is the potential it holds for my career. Just thinking about it fills me with a sense of thrill. And let's not forget the amazing 50% increment in salary. It's like a clear indication that my hard work is paying off.

The interview last week went really well, and one particular moment stands out in my memory. While I was waiting, a staff member looked at me and smiled, making a gesture of approval for my septum piercing. It was a cute interaction that put a smile on my face.

Now, as this week unfolds, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the best possible outcome. However, I must admit, I'm also feeling a bit annoyed. I understand that borrowing money can be a challenge, and it's something I've faced myself. But I'm tired of people not checking in on how I'm doing and suddenly asking to borrow money. Nevertheless, I'm trying my best to maintain a positive mindset, and my hopes are high for positive news this week.



I honestly, it feels great to reconnect with my creative side purely for the joy of it, rather than for work. This week, I've been writing, blogging, editing pictures just for fun, dabbling in digital scrapbooking, and even creating a playlist for pure enjoyment. It's like I've been transported back to 2017, when creativity flowed effortlessly.

In addition, I dyed my hair blue yesterday and snapped a few pictures. It's amazing how something as simple as changing my hair color can make me feel good about myself, and surprisingly, I don't feel weighed down by depression.

This newfound creative energy has rekindled a sense of vitality within me. It's as if I've unlocked a hidden reservoir of inspiration that was waiting to be tapped into. Engaging in these activities has brought back a certain zest for life, reminiscent of a vibrant painting bursting with color.

I've lost count of the number of times I've been told that I need help. Friends, family, and even strangers, all echoing the same sentiment. And it's not that I don't want to seek assistance; deep down, I do. It's just that somewhere within me, I struggle to accept that my struggles are significant enough to warrant it.

In my mind, I convince myself that what I go through is just a part of life's ordinary trials. That these waves of emotions, these moments of darkness, are simply the norm. I tell myself that seeking healing or support is reserved for those who face truly insurmountable obstacles, while my challenges seem minuscule in comparison.

But deep down, in the hidden corners of my heart, I know I'm wrong. I know that pain and suffering don't discriminate, and they certainly don't follow a checklist of what's deemed "valid" enough. Yet, it feels so unjust, so unfair. I never asked for this burden to be placed upon my shoulders, yet here I am, bearing its weight, and being urged to reach out for help.

It's a strange paradox, feeling both grateful for the concern of those around me and burdened by the fact that I need their help. I never envisioned myself in this position, never imagined that I would have to embark on a journey of healing. But life has its own way of unfolding, throwing unexpected obstacles our way, and challenging the very core of our being.

 

It's 3:26 am, and I'm currently immersed in the soothing melodies of "Hotel" by Montell Fish. I find myself at a loss for words, but I'm attempting to pour out my emotions onto the screen, as if my fingers haven't expressed my innermost thoughts in quite some time. So here it goes...

Once again, I was left behind. It no longer surprises me, though it still stings. It doesn't hurt as intensely as the last time, but the pain lingers. We began talking in January, and truth be told, things weren't great even then. Yet, it felt comforting to have someone who understood how I felt. He was kind and reassuring, or so it seemed. However, he remained largely unavailable. The reassurance he offered turned out to be woven with lies and manipulation.

We couldn't progress further due to the turmoil of his parents' divorce, and reluctantly, I accepted that reality. With a heavy heart, I embraced it. Little did I know that a month later, another person's name would appear on his Instagram. It wasn't so much about him, but rather the recurrence of the same feeling of unworthiness that pierced my soul.

Apart from that, life seems to be okay. Work is just work, nothing extraordinary. I find myself with an increasing amount of idle time, lacking something to truly look forward to.

I find solace in the simplicity of my existence. For I believe, deep within the depths of my soul, that I was put on this earth for a purpose so beautifully uncomplicated. It is a purpose that resonates with the hearts of many, embracing the essence of relatability.

To love and nourish my feline companion, whose soft purrs and gentle gaze bring forth an indescribable joy within my being. In her presence, I have found an unwavering source of companionship and a love that transcends the boundaries of language. In this sacred bond, we navigate life together, reminding each other of the profound significance of unconditional love.

To lose myself in the pages of ancient books, their weathered covers revealing the treasures of countless narratives. As I turn each page, I am transported to far-off lands, traversing time and space alongside remarkable characters. These books are not mere ink on paper but gateways to alternate realities, captivating my imagination and enriching my soul with every word absorbed.

To savor the aromatic embrace of morning coffee, its tantalizing scent awakening my senses and invigorating my spirit. With each sip, I am infused with a comforting warmth that permeates my entire being. It is a ritual that marks the beginning of a new day, providing me with the strength and fortitude to face the challenges that lie ahead, one caffeinated moment at a time.

To don big, tattered sweaters on languid weekends, embracing their oversized embrace as a shield against the demands of the world. In their comforting folds, I find sanctuary from the expectations and pressures of society. It is a reminder that self-care is a cherished necessity, allowing me to indulge in comfort and simply be myself, unapologetically.

To fill the pages of my journal with keepsakes, those precious moments and musings that etch themselves upon the tapestry of my existence. In the act of writing, I weave the threads of my thoughts, hopes, and fears, creating a vivid tapestry of my innermost self. These words, inked onto paper, become a testament to my journey, a testament that whispers, "You are here, and you matter."

For in these seemingly ordinary pursuits lies a profound truth. We find solace in the simplicity of life's little joys, the embrace of love, the worlds contained within books, the warmth of coffee, the comfort of well-worn garments, and the sacred act of documenting our experiences. It is within these moments that we discover our true selves and connect with the universal longing for contentment and purpose.
