One ChatGPT Prompt Changed My Entire Life

And no, it wasn’t about writing a resume.

It started with a whisper in my mind.

One of those tired nights where sleep won’t come and silence gets loud.

I had opened ChatGPT like I always do, half out of habit, half out of desperation. Not to write something and not to ask a smart question. Just to feel… something that made sense.

I typed: “Can you ask me one question that will change my life?”

No context. No backstory.

I wasn’t expecting anything.

But it replied: “What are you pretending not to know?”

And I sat there, staring at the screen.

What are you pretending not to know?

I closed the laptop and walked around my room. It was something I wasn’t ready to hear.

Because deep down, I did know.

I was pretending not to know that the relationship was over.
That I wasn’t happy.
That I wasn’t okay.
That I was tired of being the strong one.

I was pretending not to know that I needed to change, and feared who I’d become if I did.
