literally the other day, i realized i accidentally liked a post from my neighbor's wedding. it was forty-seven weeks ago. now i feel like i’ve become part of their love story without even trying. like, should i drop off a wedding gift? or maybe just pretend it never happened and avoid eye contact forever?
I always thought picking the safe path would make me happy—but it just turned into this gray existence where I wonder what could have been. I had dreams—BIG dreams—but instead, I told myself practical meant better, like it was the ONLY way forward. Some days, I sit in silence, convincing myself it was a wise choice, while feeling the weight of everything I left behind pressing down like a suffocating fog. So here I am, thriving in my practicality but longing for that wild, untamed life I brushed aside. #whatcouldhavebeen #lostdreams
