Just like that, we stopped. There were a million ways to reach me and he chose none. When I look into my mind to see what I've spent too much time doing in this made-up friendship was beg, and he did the same, he begged me to stay away from him because he actually cared and he felt as much as I did, maybe more. He is alone, and he knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with him for too long but as strong as he is, he couldn't see me left alone like that. He is the one in a true sense that people ask and want, he listened to everything I had to say, everything I felt, all the emotions, the anger, the frustration, the love, the attention, the kindness, the meanness, he was here but he was also struggling so much and he never stepped back to let me do whatever I want, any guy in his place would've known that this wasn't worth his time and should've made the run for it years ago. He is kind, he has the biggest heart, the world and the people in it are not black and whit...

Now that your birthday has passed, I wanted to write something important for you, which is not just on paper or a WhatsApp message, which we have done already and it would be so easy to lose or forget. So I decided to use the power of the internet and the power of a basic day which is not your birthday, so don't expect me to be super nice to you, cuz it's not your birthday anymore, this is not a birthday present; don't forget. Hi, Rehani, I wish to tell you that the Diwali night we spent reminiscing was amazing, those stored moments are so important to remind us who we are, what relationships we have, it is almost therapy to find yourself when you are lost. Today, if I write again, it was because I really wanted to, just like old times, write to be written about, read to be unforgotten. Our friendship was forged in our early days, which would mean our friendship was deep-rooted and real. We try and we fail multiple times because when we were growing up to be mature adults, ...

I'm listening to the same song that once made me very happy, and today I am listening to it hoping it would help me cry in the intensity I'm feeling things inside. I thought I was going to win at love. Turns out I was wrong, he asked me to leave when it was the most fragile, when I was just knitting the fabric of the relationship. I didn't even fully try, was that love, I thought I could've probably won this war. I wasn't even close to winning the battle.  Wow. my hands are numb. I cant even think of an idea. How do people get out of this. I am losing on all aspects, I forgot a friend, I forgot work, I forgot me. I now know how people are driven into cheating, cutting themselves and giving up. This is a very annoying pain and even worse goodbye. Thank god for personality, character and feminism, everything can now be spoken about to anyone. To not feel judged is something we all care about and now talking is easier if you just reach out there. Someone will grab you....

 There is a better person out there for you.  I brought out the worst in him, in all of these years, when he was on a good path, I came in and literally uprooted the whole thing about hm. Today was the first time I saw its adverse effects. I think this guy is unhealthy, because I am unhealthy. I make decisions that aren't clear to anyone, and I dragged him into the mud, he loves me so much, he is blindly following the devil into its darkness. Now that I've brought the worst out of him, I have to stop. This is not just a red flag, this is the area where couples shouldn't have to be or live in. I've seen my fair share of toxic relationships, this is somewhat it. I tried being the most open girls in this relationship, but turns out this is wrong. all my past is coming back to me. I was wrong.I cannot be like this with anyone, I just need to share enough and limited. so it doesn't lash out on my relationships. This sucks big time. I have been running away from toxic rel...

I am listening to everything you are saying, every day, every minute & every second. You are that person who knows how to speak, to convince, to gather a crowd and wow them, a person that can make anyone family and talks about it with much vigour. But what you don't talk about is what made you this way, the history of who you've been. Every single day I hear about what you want your future to look like, the people who make you whole and the experiences that have been important in your life. You manage to make them and their relationship your whole life, sometimes I wonder do you even realise that there is a person behind this who you are maybe not acknowledging at all?  I stand here and look at you and your life as though I am a viewer to something you're creating, with the world moving around me and I stand still to see you do everything that you want to do and achieve. In the midst of the noise and movement, I look at the palms of my hands and wonder If I should exte...

I'm 24 and I cannot believe everything I've already done in my life. I made everything happen to me. Every achievement, every heart break, every tear, all the moments created and memories stored, I made everything come to reality. I've done a lot for a person who thought won't do anything exciting in life, including fall in love plenty of times and fall out of it plenty of times.  Maybe this time it is different. Maybe this time around I fell in love and I want to embrace the wholeness of this relationship. It definitely is magical, every time he touches my hand, my skin tingles, it reminds me of the first time I smiled because I thought I was in love even before I knew the man. I just drove mindlessly with the biggest smile stuck on my face, thinking about what you said, and that you had a goodbye gift when I was leaving. At the time I hardly had people believe I was even a girl, but you gave me a little more than that. And that was enough at the time. I don't even...

Always available for one person, almost like you're in a prison voluntarily, I fell in love. Did you ever feel like even when the world goes all over the place, you have to call that one person to tell them how you are, whether they like it or not. I felt it a year ago, and even today, I am in the same place, always available for the one person.
