i went quiet for days, secretly hoping someone would notice. no messages. no check-ins. just me checking my phone over and over, waiting for someone to ask if i'm okay.
i don't think i wanted attention. i just wanted to feel like my absence mattered to someone.
and maybe that's what hurts the most.
realising how badly i wanted to be looked for.
the city disappeared into fog tonight. meanwhile, i’ve been trying to understand why the smallest things can hurt so much. learning about RSD made some things click, but knowing why i feel this way doesn’t make it any easier. i want someone to notice my silence, yet i’m the one choosing not to speak.
