It happens more often than we talk about.

One day, you’re sharing inside jokes, creative sparks, or heartfelt conversations with someone who feels like a true connection… and then, without warning, the messages stop. The energy shifts. The calls go unanswered. You’re left staring at the quiet, wondering when the light changed.

It’s not a breakup. There was no falling out. No dramatic storm. Just a subtle vanishing. Like a radio station that quietly fades to static, leaving you adjusting the dial and wondering if it was something you said—or didn’t say.

A friend of mine called it “ghosting,” and I suppose that’s what it feels like. A haunting absence. A presence that used to fill a space now replaced by silence, and no real explanation why.
