Hey Ghost Girl… It’s Kay. Journal Entry… Ghost Girl. Hey… Ghost Girl… Are you still there? I don’t know if anyone else can see you… But I swear… I do. Everybody says I’ve been quiet lately. Truth is… My mind’s just loud enough to drown out the whole world. I’m standing in the same room… Same heartbeat… Same face… But somehow I feel miles away. It’s like somebody pressed pause… On my body. While my thoughts keep spinning… Round and round… Like they forgot how to stop. If you can hear me… Just breathe. You don’t have to say a word. Hey Ghost Girl… I know you’re still alive. Even if the mirror doesn’t recognize your eyes. Everybody walks right through you… Like you’re made of air. But I see you… I swear… I see you there. At first… I thought you were just another voice my head invented. Because nobody else ever looks your way. They ask me how I’m doing. I smile. Say, “I’m good.” Then spend another night trying to convince myself I wasn’t lying. Maybe I’m not haunted. Maybe… I’m just invisible too. I thought I was fading… I thought I was broken… I thought nobody heard me… Until I heard you. Maybe ghosts… Can recognize other ghosts. Hey Ghost Girl… Maybe neither of us disappeared. Maybe we’ve just been walking through a world that couldn’t see us. If you’re still breathing… So am I. If you’re still fighting… So am I. Tonight… We don’t have to haunt this silence alone. Dear Journal… Maybe… Ghosts don’t always need saving. Sometimes… They just need someone to finally say… “I see you.” Love, Kay
