i think i lost my spark. i don't talk as much now. i stay quiet and keep to myself. i've gotten used to being distant, but not because i'm angry or bitter. i just don't have the energy to show up like i used to. somewhere along the way, i slipped into an "i don't care" phase, ghosted people without meaning to and grew comfortable in my own silence. maybe it's healing. maybe it's just being tired, or maybe it's just sadness. either way, i'm learning that stepping back can be part of finding myself again.
