As promised, I made another entry for the #betweenlinesandverses prompt: reason behind the messages you never sent to your loved ones. One thing I loved about #NaPoWriMo and #escapril are that they became a platform not only to push the creativity outside our heads but at the same time, a safe space to validate the emotions and experiences we kept hidden. A week is left before this event ends and I’m more curious about what entries we could make!
Also, something new will happen tomorrow in WTWC. 🌸

I’m not comfortable with you by my side. Never did I question why you left, simply because I lived accepting you had to, and now that you’re here seems too much.
Then, it hit me. I feel detached from this growing warmth and effort to reconcile because my pain was never addressed in the first place. Learning to be empathetic for others when I was deprived of emotional care feels like a sin to myself when it’s them that I treat better. Time heals all wounds, they say, but it’s never effective without an apology.
