Watching the Train Leave the Station
Hey internet void,
Ever feel like you're on the platform, waving goodbye to a train packed with everyone you know? They're all smiling, faces pressed against the windows, waving back with that carefree excitement of a new adventure. Meanwhile, you're stuck there, a crumpled ticket clutched in your sweaty hand.
This was supposed to be your train too. You had dreams, plans, a whole itinerary mapped out. But somewhere along the line, you missed a connection, got stuck on a detour, or maybe just… never boarded in the first place.
It stings, you know? Watching your friends find love, careers, that whole "adulting" thing they seem to have figured out. It feels like everyone else is living in technicolor while you're stuck in a black and white rerun.
The worst part? The loneliness. The fear that maybe your train has already left, and you're stuck on this empty platform forever.
But then, a tiny voice whispers in the back of your head. Maybe it's not too late. Maybe there's another train coming. Maybe this platform isn't the end of the line, just a different stop.
So, here's to hoping for a new track, a different route. Maybe this time, I'll be ready to board.
