From My Heart - How I Fell for Him
It all started in the quiet hum of the exam hall - my eyes barely on the paper but completely lost in him. Avi. So calm, so steady, like he was carved from silence itself. And me? I was falling, tumbling, chasing after a shadow I didn't even know I could catch.
I lost myself in those fleeting moments - the stolen glances, the unspoken words, the way my heart raced even when he never looked my way. He never felt like I did. He stayed steady, untouched, like the sky, endless and unreachable.
When no one was there, I learned to be my comfort. I whispered to myself in the silence, stitched my broken pieces back together with quiet strength. It hurt, yes. It was lonely. But it made me unbreakable.
Those bittersweet memories are mine to keep - soft as a sigh, sharp as a truth. Falling first taught me how to rise, how to find light inside the dark, and most of all, how to love myself when no one else did.
This is my story of falling, losing, and becoming of love that wasn't returned, but strength that was born anyway.
