💔 Yesterday, I Broke a Little Inside

 There are days that don’t just pass—they pierce you silently.

Yesterday was one of them.

I woke up with a weight on my chest that had no name, no sound, and yet it screamed. A kind of heaviness that you can’t explain to anyone without them brushing it off as “mood swings” or “overthinking.” But this wasn’t just overthinking. This was pain. Real, raw, and quiet.

Sometimes, love feels more like a competition.
Between me and his mother.
Between my tears and his silence.
Between the partner I hoped for and the stranger I live with.

He wasn’t cruel. He wasn’t loud.
He was just... absent. Emotionally checked out. Always running to his “Maa” for every little thing—decisions, doubts, drama. I felt invisible in the room where I was supposed to be his equal.

I didn’t want to be the villain in a mother-son bond. I just wanted a little space in his heart that was mine—not shared, not borrowed, just mine.

But yesterday made it clear: I was just an addition.
Not a priority. Not a partner.
And that realization broke something inside me.

I didn’t yell.
I didn’t cry out loud.
I just sat quietly... wondering how love became a one-sided wait.

Will things change? I don’t know.
Do I want them to? Yes.
Do I have the strength to wait? That’s the part I’m still figuring out.

But writing this... it helps.
Because in this space, at least, my voice is heard.

And if today you’re also just surviving—let’s survive together.
