This Is Why They Ghosted

GRIPE OF THE DAY 😤

Imagine this…

You’re curled up on the couch, staring at your phone — the same phone — you haven’t been able to put down all night.

But the notification you’re waiting for isn’t coming.

You swipe through your old texts, rereading them like a detective piecing together clues.

Everything felt so good last week.

They seemed so into you.

But now?

Nothing!

You check their social media. They’re posting stories, liking memes, and living “their best life” like nothing happened.

It stings.

You try to distract yourself, but it doesn’t work.

You put your phone down.

5 minutes later, you pick it back up.

“Maybe they’re just busy.

Maybe they didn’t see my text.

Maybe…

But deep down, you know the truth.

They’re ignoring you.

It’s not just the silence that hurts.

It’s the not knowing.

The second-guessing.
