In this episode, I unravel the ache of unanswered questions—the kind that echo in the silence long after someone you love walks away. I sit with the raw, relentless thoughts that kept me up at night: Was any of it real? Did he ever truly love me the way I loved him? Was this always doomed, or did I somehow shatter the one thing that felt like home?
This isn't just a story about heartbreak—it's about the disorienting aftermath of loving deeply and losing completely. It's about questioning every memory, rereading every message, replaying every kiss and conversation, trying to decipher if there was ever a version of us that could have made it. And if there was... why didn't we?
Join me as I sift through the pieces of a love that once felt like forever, and confront the hardest truth of all: that sometimes, even soulmates don't stay.
