It's me, writing down the words that seem to get stuck in the corners of my heart. I'm not good with fancy words, but today, I just need to let it all out. So, here goes.
Life, well, it's been a real mess lately. And no, I'm not an expert at handling it all. I'm just a small girl, trying to make sense of this big world. Everyone's around, but it feels like I'm wandering through an empty space, carrying this weight that no one sees.
You know, it's strange how you can be surrounded by people and still feel so alone. It's like there's this sadness inside that no one notices. I've become this go-to person for consoling others, wiping away their tears, and being the strong one. But in the midst of it all, I forgot that I too need a shoulder to lean on. Maybe it's because I'm still that small girl inside, unsure of how to navigate this maze of emotions. Sometimes, it feels like I'm expected to handle everything, as if growing up means being immune to the storms that rage within.
But here's the truth I'm not a superhero. I'm just a girl, and right now, life is throwing me curveballs that I never signed up for. I just need someone who understands that sometimes, life sucks, and it's okay to admit it. I need that person who looks into my eyes and says, "It's okay. I'm here." Not the one who asks, "What else can we do?" or worse, suggests we ignore the pain. I need a safe space, a person with whom I can let the tears flow endlessly, without judgment.
So, here I am, reaching out, saying it out loud. I need more than just the facade of strength. I need understanding, a listening ear, and a heart that says, "I'm here for you."
Life's tough and being a girl doesn't make it any easier. Sometimes, it's okay to admit that we can't handle everything on our own. I want to believe that vulnerability is not weakness; it's a sign of strength.
So, to anyone If you're out there reading this, maybe you feel the same way. life is messy, but maybe, just maybe, we can find solace in the mess together, because none of us should have to face the echoes of silence alone. It's time to embrace the tears, share the burdens, and find solace in each other.
Until next time, Saanvi
