According to a recent study, the brain develops our sense of time through a series of unique processing processes across several brain regions rather than relying on a single internal clock. This discovery reinterprets time perception as something that is created gradually rather than being quantified.

We Said Forever… But Meant Goodbye
Some promises feel eternal… until they quietly fall apart. BY: Ubaid We used to say “forever” like it was something we could hold in our hands. Like it was real. Like it was ours. I still remember the first time you said it. We were sitting on that quiet rooftop, the city lights flickering below us like distant stars. You looked at me with that soft smile—the one that always made me feel like I was home—and you whispered, “No matter what happens, it’s you and me. Forever.” And I believed you. God, I believed you with everything I had. At first, it felt easy. Love always does in the beginning. Late-night calls, endless laughter, shared dreams about a future we hadn’t even built yet. We talked about everything—where we’d live, what our house would look like, even the names of kids we didn’t have. It felt so real. But somewhere along the way, things started to change. Not suddenly. Not loudly. Just… quietly. The calls became shorter. The texts less frequent. The laughter faded into silence that neither of us knew how to fill. I noticed it before you did—or maybe before you admitted it. I kept trying. I tried to hold on to the “forever” we promised. I reminded you of our dreams, our plans, the way we used to be. But every time I reached out, it felt like you were already slipping away. And the hardest part? You didn’t leave all at once. You left slowly. Piece by piece. Until one day, I realized I was the only one still holding on. I remember the night everything finally broke. We were sitting together again, just like that first time—but this time, the silence was heavy. Uncomfortable. The kind that presses on your chest and makes it hard to breathe. I looked at you, searching for something—anything—that reminded me of who we used to be. But your eyes… They didn’t look at me the same way anymore. “I think we’ve changed,” you said quietly. Changed. Such a simple word for something that felt like destruction. I wanted to argue. I wanted to fight for us, for everything we had built. I wanted to remind you of the promises we made—the “forever” we once believed in. But deep down, I already knew the truth. We didn’t mean forever. We just didn’t know it yet. Tears filled my eyes, but I forced a small smile. “Yeah,” I whispered. “Maybe we have.” And just like that, it was over. No dramatic goodbye. No shouting. No chaos. Just two people sitting side by side, pretending they were okay with losing everything they once called home. After you left, the silence became louder than anything I had ever known. Every place reminded me of you. Every song felt like a memory. Even the smallest things—the way you used to say my name, the way you laughed at your own jokes—haunted me. I kept asking myself the same question over and over: How can something that felt so right end like this? But the truth is, not all love stories are meant to last. Some are meant to teach you. And you… you taught me everything. You taught me how deeply I could love. How much I could give. How strong I could be, even when my heart felt like it was breaking into pieces. But you also taught me something else. Something I didn’t want to learn. That sometimes, people say “forever” when they really mean “for now.” And that doesn’t make the love any less real. It just means it wasn’t meant to stay. It’s been a while since that night. I won’t lie and say I don’t miss you. I do. Sometimes more than I should. But I’ve started to understand something I couldn’t see back then. Loving you wasn’t a mistake. Believing in us wasn’t foolish. It was just… a chapter. A beautiful, painful, unforgettable chapter. And even though we said “forever”… What we really meant was goodbye.

I Loved You More Than I Loved Myself
The day I chose myself was the day I finally stopped breaking ‎BY: Khan I didn’t notice when it started. Loving you more than I loved myself wasn’t a decision—it was something that quietly grew inside me, like a habit I never questioned. At first, it felt beautiful. Natural. Like this was what love was supposed to be. I gave you my time, my energy, my patience. I made space for you in every corner of my life. Slowly, without realizing it, I began removing pieces of myself just to make you comfortable. You liked things a certain way, so I changed. You needed space, so I waited. You were distant, so I tried harder. And every time I felt something was wrong, I told myself, “This is love. This is what people do when they care.” But love isn’t supposed to feel like losing yourself. I just didn’t know that yet. There were signs—so many of them. The way you stopped asking how my day was. The way your replies became shorter, colder. The way I always seemed to care more. But I ignored them. I convinced myself that you were just busy, just tired, just going through something. So I stayed. I stayed when you canceled plans without explanation. I stayed when you forgot things that mattered to me. I stayed even when your silence hurt more than your words ever could. Because I loved you. And somewhere deep inside, I believed that if I loved you enough, you would love me the same way back. But love doesn’t work like that. No matter how much you pour into someone, you can’t force them to feel the same. You can’t make them value you the way you deserve. And slowly, I began to feel it—the emptiness. I started questioning myself. “Am I not enough?” “What am I doing wrong?” “Why do I feel so alone, even when I have you?” The truth was painful, but simple: I wasn’t the problem. I was just loving someone who didn’t know how to love me back. The breaking point didn’t come all at once. It came in small moments. Like the night I waited for your call that never came. Or the time I shared something important, and you barely listened. Or the quiet realization that I was the only one trying to keep us together. And then one day, it hit me. I was exhausted. Not physically—but emotionally, mentally, completely drained. I had given you everything. And I had nothing left for myself. That’s when I finally asked myself a question I had been avoiding: “When was the last time I chose me?” I didn’t have an answer. Because I hadn’t. For so long, my happiness depended on you—your mood, your attention, your presence. I had built my world around someone who barely noticed I was falling apart. And in that moment, something inside me shifted. Not anger. Not hatred. Just clarity. I realized that loving you shouldn’t mean losing me. I realized that I deserved the same effort, the same care, the same love I was giving. And most importantly, I realized that staying was hurting me more than leaving ever could. Walking away wasn’t easy. It felt like tearing apart something I had spent so long building. It felt like letting go of hope, of memories, of the version of you I kept believing in. But I did it. Not because I stopped loving you. But because I finally started loving myself. The first few days were the hardest. I missed you in the quiet moments. I missed the routine, the familiarity. I missed the version of us that only existed in my heart. But slowly, things began to change. I started sleeping better. I started smiling again—real smiles, not forced ones. I started feeling… lighter. Like I could breathe again. And then one day, I looked at myself and didn’t feel broken anymore. I felt proud. Proud that I walked away. Proud that I chose myself. Proud that I didn’t settle for a love that made me feel small. Now, when I think about you, I don’t feel anger. I feel understanding. You were a lesson I needed to learn. You showed me what it feels like to lose myself—and more importantly, how strong I am when I decide to find myself again. I loved you more than I loved myself. But not anymore. Now, I choose me. Every single time.
