I Never Really Left

I just needed time to find my way back to myself… and to you.

I don’t quite remember when I went quiet here. Life doesn’t always announce its storms, it just begins to rain.

Somewhere between the days that demanded more of me than I thought I had, and the nights that asked me to sit still with my own thoughts, I drifted away from this space… from writing… from all of you.

But I never really left.

I carried you with me, in the kindness of messages I didn’t reply to, in the familiarity of names that still felt like home, and in the quiet comfort of knowing this space existed, waiting, without judgment.

There were things unfolding in my real world that needed my full presence. Some heavy, some transformative, all deeply personal. And while I couldn’t show up here the way I once did, your presence, even in absence, meant more than you know.

I missed this. I missed you.

Coming back feels a little like opening a door I never truly closed. The same light, the same warmth… just a slightly different version of me stepping in.

If you’re still here, thank you. If you thought of me in my silence, thank you. If you simply existed in this shared space, unknowingly holding it together — thank you.

I don’t know what this comeback will look like yet. Maybe softer. Maybe slower. But perhaps, more honest than ever.

And maybe that’s enough.

SK Sharma (earlier 8th Wonder) ji, Anhad Sandhu — I missed everyone but I missed you both the most. It would take me a while to catch up, but I know you will forgive me for that too..why? Just because you are so awesome 🤗Thank you 💕
