I don’t think anyone would notice if I stopped showing up.

Not in a dramatic way. Just... quietly.

Stopped replying.

Stopped smiling at the right moments.

Stopped walking into rooms like I belonged there.

I’ve done it before ...slowly disappeared from people’s lives and watched how long it took them to ask where I went.

Sometimes they never did.

Sometimes they noticed when it was already too late to fix it.

I could skip a day, miss a week, vanish for a month and life would just go on.

People would keep laughing.

Group chats would stay alive.

Photos would still be posted.

Maybe they’d think, “Oh, she’s just busy.”

Or “He’s been quiet lately, hope he’s okay.”

But they wouldn’t ask. They never ask.

I don't want attention. I just want someone to notice me before I'm gone.

Not after.

Not in the kind of way where they say,

“I wish I checked in more.”

“I didn’t know they were going through something.”

I want someone to ask when I’m still here , not when I’m already a memory.

But maybe that’s asking too much.

> Some people die loudly.

I think I’ll just fade… and let the silence do the rest
