đ¸ Short Story â âShe Chose Herselfâ
For years, she told herself
âthis is just a phase⌠things will get better.â
She adjusted.
She stayed quiet.
She made herself smaller so the storms around her would feel calmer.
But slowly⌠she began to disappear.
The laughter became rare.
The silence became heavy.
And one day, she looked at herself and realisedâ
she no longer recognised the girl she used to be.
That day, something shifted.
It wasnât loud.
It wasnât dramatic.
It was a quiet, trembling decision:
âI deserve a life where I can breathe.â
Walking away wasnât easy.
It was filled with doubt, guilt, lonely nights, and questions from the world.
Some days she cried.
Some days she questioned herself.
Some days she almost went back.
But she didnât.
Because with every small step forwardâŚ
she felt a tiny piece of herself returning.
She started smiling again.
Sleeping peacefully again.
Laughing without fear again.
And one day, she realisedâ
She didnât lose her life.
She found her freedom.
She found her voice.
She found herself.
And this timeâŚ
she chose to never abandon herself again đ
âSometimes leaving is not the end of your storyâŚ
itâs the moment your real life begins.â
âThis is a gentle reminder series for anyone rebuilding their life quietly.
You are not alone. You are not late. You are not broken.
You are becoming đâ

âArt and the artist, synchronize like the sky and the moon, the sun and the afternoonâ
I donât remember how many days it took me to realize that I could love myself, too, but it almost feels like a decade.
Everyone I met or I came across taught me that love is being loved but they never told me that love can be beyond a lover.
I still remember him telling me that he loves me so much that I donât need any love and this always made me smile but he never told me that someday I might stop loving you and then you need to look for love again outside.
For a long time, I stopped believing in love but then one day I looked at myself in the mirror and I realized love is always there, itâs just that we are so busy looking for it outside, that we miss the romance inside.
I have been to beautiful places, but the most beautiful place of all is my heart, once I got in there, the definition of beauty I had earlier fell apart, I saw love and kindness there, and faith hovered around like there were no scars, even if broken, the heart looked like, it was reborn again, how hard it must have been for the heart to wander with broken pieces alone, maybe this is how strength looks like, the world calls you brave but only you know how much it takes.
When the autumn stood still, every person with spring was far away from me, people love leaves on trees but crush them while walking, suddenly the doors close, no one comes home, no one calls, no one texts back and asks how were you all along? So when no one does, you look within and find a safe place and call it a home, only to realise you always had one while waiting for others to make you build one.
âI love myself because I know how it feels to be empty, incomplete, vulnerable, and lost, but love shouldnât be blamed because the only thing that saved me was love againâ
âEvery poem feels like I am reading my heart loud to myself to remind me that donât forget this heart beats for you even while being in love with them tooâ

I was loving you with loyalty đ¤ while you were loving me with convenience â°
I made space for you in my life
You made space for me when it was empty
I stayed solid đŻ
You stayed comfortable
The crazy part isâŚ
I never switched up â I just woke up
Some people donât lose you because you stopped caring
They lose you because you finally started paying attention
I didnât ask for perfection
I asked for consistency
And once I realized I was giving effort to someone giving optionsâŚ
my heart stopped volunteering đ¤
No anger
No revenge
No drama
Just distance.
Because closure isnât always a conversationâŚ
sometimes itâs a change in access
Welcome to my healing season
Not everybody is allowed in this version of me anymore.
