Ever catch yourself saying something and wonder where the hell it came from?
A few years back, I was grabbing drinks with an old colleague from my corporate days. We were catching up, swapping stories about work and life, when he asked about my weekend plans. Without thinking, I replied, “Nothing much, just killing time until Monday.”

The words hung there for a second. He gave me this look, half concerned, half confused. That’s when it hit me. I’d been saying stuff like this for months, maybe longer. Little phrases that seemed harmless but revealed something darker underneath.

I’d quietly given up on happiness without even realizing it.
