The Sad Truth Of The Ones Who Left

  


I know you were the one who left. You were the one who cut the ties and just walked away. Without warning. Without an explanation. Without a word.You were silent, that even your steps don't echo. You just knew it was for the best. For you. It was for you, I know.

I know you were doubting right now. Perhaps, regretting. It was all too painful. They just thought it was easy. But it was the most difficult choice you had to decide. Every step was heavy, the road was blurry. It was the hardest thing to do, and the right thing to do too. At least, for you.

I know you felt sorry. You felt misunderstood. It was you who left. It was you who gave up. It was you who did not endure and persevere. You were not patient, they say. You don't love him enough, they tell you. But little did they know, it was you who fought. It was you who endured. It was you who tried her best to make things work. You did everything you could. It just didn't turned out the way you expected. It was the worse.

I know you think you did the wrong thing. It was a bad decision. You were selfish. You could have given it another try.You love him. He was suppose to be worth it. You were suppose to endure a little more. You could have stayed. But you didn't. You did the otherwise. You saved yourself. Yes, maybe it was selfish. But it was, at the very least--self-respect.

I know you're crying every night. I know you're trying to hide all the sadness and pain you're feeling. They thought you were okay. It was you who left. You must be okay. You must be enjoying life and the freedom you earned. You must be partying. Singing. Dancing. But they thought wrong. You are miserable. You are suffocated. It hit deeply. It was breaking you. You were not okay as they thought.

Then you realized, that sometimes the one who left is the one who suffers more. Pain. Regret. Doubts. These things will haunt you. Maybe for a month. A year. Or even forever. You don't know when it will stop. You don't even know if it will stop. You just know that it would most probably break you, or even kill you. The one left behind will suffer, I know. But he will live. He will most probably get over it. He has nothing to regret. He'll just outgrow the pain and continue where he left off. He will move on eventually.

But know that you did the right thing. You were not at fault. You were not selfish. You had your limits. You knew it wasn't worth the fight anymore. It was okay to walk away from the things that create chaos and destroys your peace. It wasn't a bad choice. You chose yourself. It wasn't selfishness, it was self-love.

Please know that it is okay. It is okay making yourself the top priority.

Don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart

Image
Don’t tell my dad that the daughter he raised to be strong sometimes feels like she’s falling apart. He always told me to stand tall, to face the world with courage, but there are moments when the weight of everything feels too heavy to bear. I’ve learned to smile through the pain, to keep going even when it feels like the ground is crumbling beneath me. But in the quiet of the night, when no one is watching, I let the tears fall. Please, don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart. Don’t tell my dad that the confidence he sees in me is sometimes just a mask. I’ve always wanted to make him proud, to show him that I could handle anything life throws my way. But inside, there’s a little girl who still feels scared, who still questions if she’s good enough. I push those feelings down, trying to live up to the image he has of me, but some days, it’s harder than others. Please, don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart. Don’t tell my dad that the dreams I’ve been chasing aren’t alwa...

She Says She's Not Beautiful

She says she's not beautiful, but she never saw herself smiling when she does the things she love. The way her lips form a grin, the genuine joy in her laughter, the flicker in her eyes when she's lost in her world of creativity. She says she's not beautiful, but she never witnessed the sparkle in her eyes when she talks about her passions and dreams, the way how her face lights up when she talks about her favorites. She says she's not beautiful, but she doesn’t see herself giggle when she plays with her dogs. The way her cheeks glow when she takes care of them, and the way her face brightens up when she speaks how they made her day. Oh, that image is one of my most favorite, favorite views in the world. She says she's not beautiful, but she overlooks the warmth in her voice when she comforts a friend or shares laughter with loved ones. She says she's not beautiful, but she never saw how she stands, the way she presents herself, how she walks and spe...

Praying to have you but not now, not yet.

Praying to have you but not now, not yet. Our hearts are aligned, beating to the same rhythm of hope and love, but the timing is not in our favor. We find ourselves in a season where our dreams demand our full attention, where the path we walk requires us to focus on building a future that can sustain the love we cherish. I long for the day when we can finally be together, but right now, our dreams must take precedence, shaping the people we are destined to become. Praying to have you but not now, not yet . Life is a whirlwind of responsibilities and ambitions, and we are caught in its storm. There are so many things we are both striving to achieve, so many goals that need our energy and dedication. We are on parallel journeys, each one filled with challenges and triumphs that will one day bring us closer. But today, we must continue to walk our separate paths, knowing that the time will come when our roads will merge into one. Praying to have you but not now, not yet . I am stil...
