In this episode, I take you into one of the darkest and most final moments of heartbreak—the silence that isn’t just absence, but rejection. Blocked. Ghosted. Gone. It wasn’t just a missed call or a message left on read. It was the moment the door slammed shut, the moment the bridge burned and there was no way back across. Discord, our digital home—where we lived, laughed, loved, cried, slept—was suddenly erased. iMessages turned green. Socials disappeared. He vanished, and I was left trying to breathe through the suffocating quiet.
But this wasn’t just about being cut off. This was the moment I had to face what I had done. I had manipulated with my grief. Used desperation as a weapon. Told him I didn’t want to live, hoping it would make him stay. But all it did was make it impossible for him to. And I can’t blame him.
Still, knowing doesn’t stop the ache. In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to be completely erased by someone who once promised forever. What it means to be ghosted by the one person who knew you best. What it means when silence becomes your answer. And how I keep surviving the echoes of that silence—day after day after day.
This is the episode where goodbye finally meant gone
