the illusion of forever

They say forever exists. That love, trust, and loyalty are unbreakable. That people who promise to stay will never leave.

I believed in those lies once. I gave my heart to the wrong hands, trusted words that held no meaning, and chased a forever that never existed. And in the process, I lost myself.

But this is not a story of heartbreak. This is a story of awakening-of learning that love given to the wrong people is a love wasted. Of realizing that trust, when placed in unworthy hands, turns to betrayal. And of understanding that forever is nothing more than a beautiful illusion, one that disappears the moment you reach for it.

This is not a plea for sympathy. This is a story of choosing myself. Of rising from the wreckage, walking away without looking back, and building a life where I am my own first priority.

If you've ever been abandoned, if you've ever held on to someone who let go first, if you've ever believed in love that turned to dust-this is for you. Because sometimes, the end of an illusion is the beginning of something real.
