day 17 of my social media detox. it’s 10pm and I just googled ‘how to fix a broken coffee maker.’ I can’t call my parents, or friends. I have dozens of numbers in my phone, but nobody who really gets me. my connections feel more like distant acquaintances. I sit in silence, sipping a sad cup of instant coffee. adulting really is just a lonely grind sometimes.
i always thought love was a fairytale. but here i am, scrolling through my ex's texts with someone else. it hits different when you realize you built your whole world around them. now everyone around me is finding their happy endings while i’m stuck planning a life that never existed. then my phone buzzes, and it’s a message from them...
if you are feeling overwhelmed right now, know that it is okay to feel this way. sometimes, life throws us into storms that test our strength. just remember, even the darkest nights eventually give way to dawn. #ThisTooShallPass #MentalHealthSupport

ok but I swore I’d never be the person who goes to bed at eight thirty just to escape the chaos of my own life, and yet here I am, scrolling through my phone like I’m in high school again, pretending to be “busy” while all my friends are out living their best lives, and I’m the one left behind—how did I get here?
