Lately, people have been asking me what I’ve been up to. “You’ve been so quiet!” “We should catch up!” I always say something like, “Yeah, just been busy with work and life, you know how it is.”
But the truth is, I’m not busy. I’m just alone.
Somehow, over the past couple of years, my circle shrunk without me realizing it. Friends moved away, some got into relationships, others just drifted. I wasn’t great at keeping in touch either—I take the blame for that. Now it feels like everyone has their own lives and I’m just this forgotten background character.
Weekends are the worst. I sit in my room, pretending I’m choosing to relax, but I’d drop everything if someone just texted me to hang out. Even just to get coffee.
I don’t want to come off as desperate or weird, so I keep lying. “Oh yeah, crazy week.” “Just needed some time to recharge.” It’s easier than admitting no one called. No one asked.
I don’t even know why I’m writing this. I guess I just wanted to say it somewhere, since I can’t say it out loud.
