The Echo You Left Behind
Invisible threads that binds us
While scrolling through Instagram, I came across something that struck me deeply. It wasn’t just a quote, it was a quiet reminder of the invisible threads that still connect us to others, even long after the goodbyes. I wanted to share it with the friends I have here on this platform. And it goes like this...
Somewhere, someone regrets the last words they said to you.
Someone still keeps the concert ticket from that unforgettable night.
Someone hears your voice in their head when they’re about to make a decision.
Someone takes the long way home, just to pass by your street.
Someone wishes they could tell you, “I finally took your advice.”
Someone still tells their friends how much you once meant to them.
Someone holds their breath when they see a stranger who looks like you.
And somewhere, someone still wonders if you ever think of them too.
We leave behind pieces of ourselves in the hearts and memories of others—
Echoes we may never hear, feelings we may never know,
But they exist. Quietly. Endlessly.
Maybe that’s what it means to be human
☆To be remembered in silence,
☆To be missed in the small moments,
☆To be someone’s “what if,” someone’s “I hope they’re okay.”
