last night, I sat on my couch — staring at my closet full of clothes I can't wear to anything fun. my phone buzzed with invites to hang out, but I hit decline like a reflex. it feels like a game of hide and seek, except I’m always the one hiding. it's lonely as hell — missing out, but also terrified of facing my own empty pockets.
it's not that i don’t want to talk about my future, it’s just that i stood there at that function, answering my aunty’s questions while mentally checking off how many years it's been since i felt truly connected to anyone. nobody texts when i’m low. there are faces i used to call friends, now just contacts in my phone that i scroll past. funny how hundreds of names don’t mean a single real connection... i was about to share that. but then, a voice in my head whispered that it was all too pathetic to say out loud. maybe i just wanted to disappear for a while, you know? #Gate2026 #loneliness
