This is such a striking and brilliant piece, Ruth, raw, imaginative, and darkly funny, with real emotional depth. Witty, aching, and so real. You captured the ritual of grief scrolling so vividly, but what made it unforgettable was the unexpected tenderness in that final release. I never thought I’d feel emotional over a phone going on a 'grief diet,' but here we are. “Guess we both lost some weight tonight” might be one of the most quietly powerful closing lines I’ve read in a long time. More fiction, please. You’ve clearly got the voice for it. 📱💔✨❤️💛✨️🥰
Thanks so much for reading Saira! Glad that you enjoyed it and I'm really grateful for you kind feedback & encouragement to write more. It means a lot😊🙏🏼
My pleasure! You’re so welcome, Ruth, stories like that really stay with people. You truly have a gift for storytelling, and I hope you keep exploring it. I’ll be looking forward to whatever stirs in your voice next. ✨📚🥰😊
Wise words that I wish I’d lived by once upon a time.
Great writing.
What a relatable piece! You really captured those post breakup habits and feelings.
