The Ghost in the Hallway

Dear Delyara, I feel like a ghost haunting my own life today. I’m going through the motions—driving the car, doing the work, eating the food—but I’m not really "there." It’s like my soul is floating a few inches outside of my body, watching me pretend to be a person. I just want to feel something—even if it’s pain—just to know I’m still alive. I’m leaving this note here to ground myself. I am real. I am here.
