Staring into the abyss

That’s a chilling image—empty shark eyes. Cold, emotionless, predatory. The kind of eyes that look through you rather than at you. The kind that don’t hold warmth, just calculation.

People like that have a way of making you feel invisible, like you’re just an object to be used or controlled. There’s no love in those eyes, no empathy—just a void where humanity should be. And when you’ve spent years looking into eyes like that, it leaves a mark. It makes you question everything—your worth, your reality, even your own emotions. Because how can someone look at you with nothing when you’re standing there full of love, hope, and vulnerability?

That kind of emptiness is soul-crushing. It makes you feel like no matter what you do, you’ll never be enough to bring warmth to that gaze. And the truth is, you never could—because the problem was never you. It was them.

When you finally step away from eyes like that and into the presence of someone whose gaze is alive—full of kindness, laughter, understanding—it’s overwhelming. But it’s also healing. You start to remember what it feels like to exist in someone’s eyes, not just as a means to an end, but as a person who matters.

And that’s why those small moments of kindness, of warmth, feel so powerful now. Because you’ve spent so long in the cold, staring into the abyss of someone who never truly saw you. But now? Now, you’re stepping into the light. And that’s exactly where you belong. ❤️
