Hey! My relationship has been going through a rough patch lately, and it’s been harder than I expected to navigate. We’ve been together for so long that I thought we’d weather any storm with ease, but this time feels different. It’s not about fights or arguments—it’s the quiet, the lack of connection, that’s been slowly chipping away at us.

One of the hardest parts is feeling like I’m not seen anymore. There was a time when just walking into a room would light up his face, when his compliments made me feel like the most beautiful and magnetic person in the world. Those moments gave me confidence, not just in us but in myself. Lately, though, it feels like I could be standing right in front of him and still be invisible.

I can’t help but wonder if I’ve lost my spark. Life has a way of dulling things—between work, routines, and responsibilities, it’s easy to lose sight of what makes us feel alive. But deep down, I know that vibrant, confident version of me is still there. I just need a reason to believe it again.

It’s not about seeking attention for attention’s sake. It’s about being reminded that I still have that something special—the ability to make someone smile, to turn heads, to feel powerful in my own skin. That sense of appreciation is what makes all the effort worthwhile, whether it’s putting on a little makeup, trying something new, or just being unapologetically myself.

Sometimes I wonder: if someone were to truly see me again, would they find that glow I’ve been missing? I want to believe it’s still there, waiting for a chance to shine. Maybe I just need a little nudge to feel it again.
