My marriage has hit a rough patch. It’s been a slow drift, like a current I didn’t notice pulling us apart until I found myself standing on the shore, unsure of where we went wrong. I never thought I’d be here, feeling distant and disconnected from someone I once shared everything with. At first, it was just little things—misunderstandings, moments that went unacknowledged, small pieces of ourselves slipping through the cracks of the routine. But now, it feels like the space between us has grown too wide to ignore.

I’ve started to doubt myself, questioning if I’ve changed in ways I didn’t even realize. When did I become so invisible? When did I stop feeling like the woman who was noticed, the woman who felt adored? I look in the mirror and wonder if I still have that spark, that energy that once radiated so effortlessly. Have I lost it? Or have I just forgotten where to find it?

I used to feel seen—truly seen—by my partner. I would walk into a room and catch their eyes, and for a moment, it felt like the whole world disappeared. I’d get compliments that made me feel beautiful, confident, and wanted. But now, those moments are rare, and the silence between us is louder than the affection we once shared.

I guess I’m just wondering—do I still have that spark? Am I still the woman I used to be? The one who was full of life, full of dreams, and full of love to give? Somewhere between the duties, the responsibilities, and the struggles, I feel like I’ve lost touch with her.

I know I’m still here, but I’m searching for that reminder that I’m still worthy of love, appreciation, and connection. I’m ready to rediscover who I am, to reignite the spark that I know still exists within me. I just need to believe again—both in myself and in the possibility of reconnecting with the person I used to be, and the partner I still want to be.
