i think i lost my spark, or i was just going through some type of growth. i don't talk as much anymore, i keep to myself, and i've mastered the art of distance. maybe i just changed after everything i went through. i stopped talking so much because not everyone understands me the way i hoped they would. i stopped giving my energy to people who only come around when it benefits them. now i enjoy my own space more. i no longer feel the need to explain every feeling or prove myself to anyone. maybe this is not me losing my spark. maybe this is me learning how to protect my peace, heal slowly, and become more comfortable with who i am, even if it means growing in silence.
