This is where I leave pieces of myself.
But if you’re here, maybe you’re looking for soft things with sharp edges. For stories that whisper. For words that remember.
I’ll leave pieces of myself here. Quietly.
You don’t have to understand it all.
You just have to feel something.

Sometimes, my daughter is so much like me it feels like I’m staring into the past.
I see the version of myself who learned to destroy in order to self-soothe.
The child who wanted to be heard but didn’t yet have the words,
or the space,
or the safety to ask for more.

Only that it’s soft. And heavy. And full.
Only that it’s soft. And heavy. And full.
Like the sound of a bird’s wings just after it leaves.
Like the pieces of what it took to be born.
This nest isn’t empty.
It’s full of after.
And sometimes, that’s where the real story lives.
