Boredom may look harmless, but it quietly pulls you into things you don’t even need. It makes you scroll endlessly, text people you have moved on from, or chase excitement in places that drain your peace. When the mind has nothing meaningful to hold on to, it starts searching for chaos, just to feel something. That’s why boredom is dangerous, it doesn’t come alone. It brings temptation, confusion, and regret with it.

The day I start revealing your truth, you will have nowhere to go. Because deep down, you know what you have done, how you twisted things, how you made me look wrong just to save your image. And I still kept trying to convince you that we should clear the misunderstanding, not because I was weak, but because I thought you had some grace and some respect for what we had. But now I am not going to consider anything, now if I decide to speak, the truth will be louder than all the lies ever told. And that day, your mask will fall, and your ugly reality will be known to everyone.

I don’t know what more I could have done for you. Maybe I cared too much, maybe I stayed too long, maybe I kept trying when there was nothing left to fix. I replay moments sometimes the things I said, the efforts I made, the silences I accepted. And still, it feels like it was never enough. But maybe that’s the truth about some people, no matter how much you give, they only remember what you couldn’t. So now I don’t question what more I could have done. I remind myself that I gave with honesty, and that should have been enough.

If someone isn’t there for you, be there for yourself. Don’t wait for calls that never come, or comfort from someone who only shows up for themselves. Wipe your own tears, hold your own heart together, pick yourself up again. Because the cruel truth is, some people don't love you or care about you, they only care about what they get from you. But you? You are the one who has to live with yourself every day. So show up for yourself… the way others should have, but didn’t.
