This work is born from moments of intense emotion: the aftermath of arguments, train journeys to visit former lovers, and the myriad firsts of new relationships. It chronicles the lies and pain, the emotional turmoil of endings, the transformative experiences, and the seemingly insignificant details—all meticulously recorded through successive relationships. Are relationships easy? No. Would I want them to be? Absolutely not. For in those challenges lie the stories worth telling. The end of a relationship strikes with the chilling force of winter. We become desolate, stripped bare, with nothing left to give. We wait in the silence, which itself can be deafening.
