The saddest feeling on the Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day used to feel different. It was once about love, laughter, and shared moments that felt like they’d last forever. Now, it’s just another reminder of how temporary everything can be. The saddest feeling isn’t missing someone—it’s knowing they’re now just a memory. The same person who once made your world brighter, who filled your days with laughter and your nights with deep conversations, is now nothing more than flashes in your mind. A song. A place. A scent. Suddenly, they’re there again, but only in your thoughts. It’s cruel how time works. How someone can go from being your safe space to a name you hesitate to say out loud. How love can turn into silence. How you can remember every little thing about them—the way they smiled, the way they held your hand, the way they made you feel seen—but they’ll never know how much they’re still with you. Today, while the world celebrates love, some of us mourn what we lost. Not just a person, but a version of ourselves that existed only with them. To anyone feeling this way today—you’re not alone. Some love stories don’t get the ending they deserve, but that doesn’t make them any less beautiful.
