Something was missing in my life. I didn't know what it was, but now I know. Growing up, I was a sad and depressed kid. There was an emptiness within me, a void that seemed impossible to fill. My household was cold, devoid of affection, and though I was surrounded by people, I felt profoundly alone. For a long time, I believed that getting a girlfriend would mend my broken spirit, that it would fill the gaping hole in my heart. But I was wrong-terribly wrong. The relationship I found myself in only deepened my despair. It was toxic, and when I finally ended it, I was left alone once again, feeling more hollow than ever.One night, as I lay in bed scrolling through my phone, an overwhelming wave of sadness washed over me. It was as if the emptiness inside had finally overflowed, drowning me in despair. I began to plead internally, "I wish something could fill this empty hole." Little did I know that this silent plea was the beginning of my journey toward a profound transformation.
