On my elementary school graduation day, not a single person from my family came.
I was in the choir, so I performed at the opening AND the closing of the ceremony. Like I was literally up there twice. And not one person showed up to watch.
All the other kids had their arms full. Bouquets from their parents, little gifts, the whole thing. Everyone just glowing with flowers and people who came for them.
I had nothing. Empty hands.
My friends kept asking to take pictures together and I just... ignored them. Couldn't do it. The second the ceremony ended I walked straight home.
Every single step on the way back. Every single one. So lonely. So quiet. The kind of quiet that just sits in your chest.
I still can't forget it.
