The Echo of My Soul
From my childhood, I was living a mixed life. Was I blessed or was I cursed? I had a contrary view over my life. But I was never alone despite everyone around me abandoning me. Another voice was echoing through me, telling me to not be afraid.
At one point, I almost succumbed into a life under the shadow, but someone eventually pulled me out of it and placed me under the spotlight.
I thought I was freed forever, but the Echo told me that I was wrong. And it was all proven true on the day I discovered the true face of my beloved, who cheated on me without any shame.
That day, I felt my world breaking apart.
We were always together, I thought we would be together forever. Like some sort of beautiful fantasy. Silly, yet warm. Somewhere I could escape to.
A home.
It wasn't too much. But somehow, it all started that day. Or did it start before it?
I don't remember. My memories are failing me.
He told me I shouldn't stay. He told me I'll only get hurt no matter how I try to please him. He did not lie… Then, why did it hurt so much?
Maybe because I truly loved him, seeing him with another had me broken to pieces. It wasn't fun, but… It wasn't the worst.
That day, I finally decided.
‘Leave.’
It was as if a trigger had been pulled, and my life moved again in a hectic direction.
I've met people I thought I won't be meeting again, and was stranded between so many fights of interests. I could only fight for myself there.
This time, not only the Echo was with me. Another person was there, supporting me unconditionally. Giving me the confidence to move.
Still, I will forever wonder… What choice is the right one? I guess I'll never know until I reach my destination.
