Abandoned, disposed, rejected.

Her memories swirled around like a blizzard full of deja vus. She still remembered that night when she felt as if the world had ended, wondering what she had done wrong, how she could belong and stop feeling like a pariah in her own home, how she ended up being a useless thing. Wondering why she was left; wondering why she was empty.

The world was kind to some people yet cruel to others. Some were meant to be thrown, lost and broken, left behind, while everybody else moved on, as if misery and darkness belonged to those stories bards sang.

She used to envy those who lived that fantasy. Ignorants of the world’s malice, living as if the most tragic event in their lives would be the next banquet, which jewelry or fancy dress they would use, or the subsequent political union. Once, she would have longed to live that life, desperately trying to change everything about her to make it happen. What could she have given to feel seen, accepted, that she belonged and was useful just once?
