Real Life & Identity — “The Person You Were Becoming Is Gone”
"Some grief doesn’t come from death—it comes from disappearance."
This is the grief of futures that never arrived. Of versions of you that slowly faded. It’s not marked by funerals or endings, but by the quiet unraveling of dreams, direction, and self. When identity slips away—through disappointment, derailment, or quiet collapse—it leaves behind a silence that doesn’t go away.
Here, that grief is named. Not excused. Not reimagined. Just seen for what it is.
You Gave Them Your Best—And Got a Cardboard Box in Return
You gave them your best, but all you got in return was a cardboard box and a door closing behind you. This post reflects the raw grief of losing your job after giving everything to it, the pain of being let go with nothing but your effort and a personal sense of loss.
Still Here?
The pain didn’t leave—but maybe you’re ready to walk with it instead of running from it.
Healing doesn’t start with answers. It starts with honesty. And you’ve already proven you can feel this deeply.
Now let’s see what living with it could look like.
💝 When Who You Were Meant to Be Doesn’t Show Up

It was slow. Quiet. Unnoticed by most.
But you felt it—your life shifting into something unrecognizable.
You don’t have to chase a new self right now.
You just have to admit the old one’s gone.
