2025 didn't just tire me out. It stripped me. It showed me how quickly comfort can turn cold, How people you swear by can quietly let go, And how the ones you'd defend with your life Can watch you drown without reaching in. I didn't just lose people. I lost the version of me Who believed loyalty was mutual And love didn't need proof. Some days it felt like betrayal. Some days it felt like being forgotten. Most days it felt like standing strong While no one noticed how tired I was. But heartbreak has a strange way of clarifying things. It reveals who checks on you without needing a reason. Who stays when there's nothing to gain. Who chooses you even when it's inconvenient. 2025 broke parts of me I didn't know could break-But it also burned away what was never real. So as 2026 waits quietly ahead, I'm not dragging the weight of people, Who never carried me. I'm walking forward lighter. Wiser. And finally brave enough To choose myself without apology. Because sometimes the year that nearly destroys you Is the one that teaches you What you should've never settled for.
