Whispers of Forever

Everyone thinks she is perfect-beautiful, kind, and above all, intelligent.

But for her, none of those things feel true.

Beautiful? Yes, that's what others say, but she doesn't see it in herself. She carries many insecurities, especially about her physical appearance.

Kind? Perhaps partly, but in truth, she only mirrors the behavior of the people she encounters.

Intelligent? That's what people always say, because of the achievements she earns. But what happens when those achievements are gone? Her worth seems to exist only when she succeeds.

That's why she constantly pushes herself-to prove that she has value and meaning in this world.

Then one day, she met a man she never expected. His presence brought her peace and solace. Most importantly, his arrival became her assurance and realization that even without beauty, kindness, or intelligence, she still mattered. He became her safe place, her comfort during the times she no longer wanted to exist in this world. He became her everything.

But not everything is meant to stay. One morning, she woke up to find that her world had stopped-because she was no longer the reason his world kept turning.
