A New City, A New Start

Lately, I’ve been feeling the urge to just leave. Not out of impulse or recklessness—but because staying feels like being stuck. Everything around me reminds me of what used to be—old memories, lost love, people who aren’t the same anymore, or maybe I’m not. Either way, it’s exhausting.

There’s something about the idea of a new city that feels freeing. No one knows you. No expectations. No stories attached to your name. Just space—to figure things out, to begin again, maybe even to disappear for a while. It’s not about escape as much as it is about starting over without all the baggage.

But it’s not that simple. I’m torn. There’s this mix of hope and fear. Part of me wants to believe that things will feel lighter somewhere else. That a new place will mean new chances, new people, new peace. But I also know that pain travels with you, no matter where you go.

I think about the people I’ve lost. The ones I loved but couldn’t hold on to. The friendships that slowly faded. The moments I wish had gone differently. And that makes me hesitate. Because even if I leave, those things don’t just disappear.

Still, the desire to disappear for a bit is strong. Not forever. Just long enough to reset. To stop feeling like I’m constantly being reminded of who I was instead of being allowed to figure out who I am now.

And then, in the middle of all this, there are a few people who still check in. The ones who don’t ask for much, but somehow show up when it matters. Maybe that’s what keeps me grounded, even when I feel like letting go of everything.

I don’t know what comes next. I just know something has to change. Maybe it starts with a train ticket. Or maybe it starts with a decision. Either way, I’m ready for something new—even if I’m not sure what that looks like yet 😇

When a Third Person Comes Between Two People

A strong bond between two people — whether it’s love or friendship — should be based on trust and understanding. But sometimes, a third person enters the picture and slowly creates distance. They don’t always mean harm, but their presence or actions can lead to confusion, jealousy, and even breakups.

Who Is the Third Person?

The third person is someone outside the original relationship. They might be a friend, colleague, or someone new. Their involvement can cause issues, especially when one person starts listening to or depending on them more than their own partner or friend.

How Do They Cause Problems?

Starting rumors or spreading wrong information

  A lie, even a small one, can damage trust.

Getting too involved

  When someone else starts taking up too much space in the relationship, the other person may feel ignored or hurt.

Giving unwanted advice

  Sometimes, advice from an outsider creates more confusion instead of helping.

Causing misunderstandings

  They might twist words or situations that lead to fights or doubt.

Why Does This Happen?

Weak communication

  When the two people don’t talk openly, it’s easier for someone else to interfere.

Trust issues

  If one person doesn’t fully trust the other, they may rely more on what others say.

No boundaries

  Letting others get too close to private matters can open the door to problems.

 Signs a Third Person Is Interfering

Frequent arguments with no clear reason

One person becoming distant or secretive

Always talking or comparing with the third person

Feeling like someone else has more say in the relationship than they should

What Can Be Done?

Have an honest conversation

  Talk about feelings before the gap grows wider.

Limit outside influence

  Keep personal matters between the two people involved.

Strengthen the bond

  Spend more time together and rebuild trust.

Let go of toxic interference

  If someone is clearly causing harm, it’s okay to step back from them.

In the End

Relationships are special and worth protecting. It’s natural to meet new people, but when someone begins to harm what two people have built, it’s important to act. Don’t let a third person break something that was once beautiful and strong. Work together, talk openly, and protect your peace.
