Title: The Devil in the White City
Posted: August 18, 2025
In the middle of the chaos,
the wind cuts through layers you thought would protect you.
The cold finds your bones.
Memories surface—
and some of them are memories
you never even got the chance to make.
Losing love is not a single loss.
It is grief of the past,
the present,
and the future that never was.
Tears blur your vision.
A decade of memories spill down your face.
A lifetime of abandoned ones
steals the breath from your lungs.
You gasp for air,
but it’s never enough.
Time slips away,
your compass spins,
north is lost.
You reach for answers in others.
Their eyes are kind,
their arms warm—
but comfort without soul
is only a bandage.
The void remains.
The past lingers like stagnant air
in a room with open windows.
You choke on what will not clear.
And just when you think you are moving forward,
the past slams into you like a truck,
knocking you down,
again.
You stand in front of monuments
you once dreamed of visiting together.
“This was us,” you whisper.
“We were supposed to be here.”
But all you were given
was a bad goodbye.
A confused goodbye.
And now the future is altered—
forever.
Yet life,
for all its hurricanes,
also offers a choice.
We cannot change every circumstance.
But we can forgive.
We can let go.
We can make room for something new—
something more beautiful.
Maybe someone will come with a new compass.
Maybe he will tell you what time it is.
Because there is no greater disinfectant than sunlight.
Things hide, and things die, in the dark.
So burn the bridges that hold no value.
Leave the doors open for those who do.
And never be afraid to speak—
to anyone.
The stranger at McDonald’s
could be a millionaire.
The lesson is simple:
you never truly know what’s waiting.
✨ Sip of Truth: Grief alters the map. But forgiveness resets the compass.
