Time to Move on

Damn right, it’s about time to move on.

It’s been almost seven months since the judge declared my marriage over — sealed, final, no turning back.

I’ve lived through most of the mourning phases — and yeah, I’ll admit, those weren’t my finest moments.


Countless nights I cried myself to sleep, drowning in heartbreak.

It took everything I had just to plaster on a big, fake smile after that hurricane ripped through my life.

Waking up each day, forcing myself to pretend I was curious, excited about what the future might hold — when inside, all I felt was numb.

Pretending the storm never shook me — especially in front of those who cared.

Forcing smiles around family and best friends, just to spare them pity and worry.

Desperately hiding the truth: I’ve lost all desire.

Dreams that once burned bright now feel like distant ghosts.

Simple acts — getting out of bed, stepping outside — lose their meaning.
Food, my old comfort, tastes bland, uninspiring. 

Sometimes I skip meals just because I don’t care anymore.

Leaving the house feels like torture, yet returning to my room offers little solace.

Days blend together locked away, disconnected from the world.

Avoiding new people because I refuse their pity.

Bitterness shadows my thoughts — especially when it comes to love, relationships, and marriage.

I feel like a damaged good, broken beyond repair.

Hatred for myself grows louder than ever.

I tread carefully when anyone new shows interest — a vow made to stay single, to protect what little remains of my heart.

Social events drain me; the questions I dread hang in the air like poison.

Lonely — even in the loudest, most crowded rooms.

Believing, deep down, I’m not good enough. 

That happiness isn’t meant for me.

But now — after seven months — it’s time.

Time to MOVE ON.

Stop drowning in regrets over what I cannot change.

That chapter is closed. 

Sealed. 

Locked away for good.

BISMILLAH — here’s to new beginnings.

Here’s to finding light after the darkest storms.
