"i saw a ghost." but instead of being scared, i cried. it was me. my old self. the version of me who smiled more, laughed loudly, and found joy in the simple things. she looked at me like she barely recognized who i had become. and in that moment, i realized how much of my spark i had lost while trying to survive everything life threw at me. i miss the person i used to be. i miss the old me. the girl who always had energy, and who faced each day with excitement instead of exhaustion. life changed me. however, i hope she is not gone. maybe one day, i will find her again.
