Starting Over After a Lost Year

I spent my entire 2025 chasing someone who was already gone. January started

with a brutal breakup right before my board exams. I couldn't study, couldn't focus,

couldn't breathe. Failed my exams because my mind was somewhere else. March and April,

I kept texting her, desperate for answers. We patched up in April but something felt wrong.

I stayed anyway, ignoring every red flag until July. Four months of fighting family pressure,

responsibilities, and a relationship that was draining me alive. Finally walked away

in July, promised myself a fresh start. But I couldn't stop thinking about her.

August, September, October passed in a blur of memories and regret.
