33 Just looking for connection again

I used to believe love meant being truly seen. Somewhere along the way, that feeling disappeared.

I’ve been in a relationship with someone unfaithful, and it’s changed me in ways I never thought possible. I don’t trust the way I used to, and I don’t love the way I used to. The part of me that gave my whole heart is gone — and I miss her.

I’m not here to change anyone’s life or ask for more than they can give. I just want to talk. To feel noticed. To share a part of myself with someone who actually wants to see it.

I’m small and petite, with long black hair and tattoos — but that’s just the surface. Inside, I’m someone who’s been feeling invisible for a long time, who misses deep conversation and genuine care.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, maybe you’ll understand. I’m just looking for a little light in a place that’s felt dark for too long.
