The one that left?
Hii.
Murphy's Law states that - anything that can go wrong, will go wrong and anything that can go right, will go right. Hence, anything that can happen, will happen.
That is all I can say for the last two years.
So here I am, posting this with the hope that it gets me out of my slump and I write more this coming year.
My last post here was in December, 2023 and here is something I wrote on 31st December, 2024.
I think I’m a distant child.
The one that left.
The one who misses where she came from but is happiest away from it.
I’ve grown to love these new walls,
But I can’t help but trip with the weight of what was left behind.
I still call, laugh, talk, maybe for them, maybe for me.
The place that raised me is now just an emotion, a place that no longer exists in the same time space continuum as I do now.
Familiar yet foreign.
Like everything else in my life now, a little here and a little there.
Will it go away, this weight?
The weight of what was, what could have been.
The city that had me has now left me frayed at the edges.
I keep moving forward, I always have and I always will.
And maybe, just maybe, the city that has me now, will be kinder.
See you (soon) :)
