Unwitnessed (eBook)
Some losses don’t announce themselves. There’s no funeral, no rupture, no moment where everyone agrees something ended. What disappears instead is attunement. Regulation. A shared understanding that once made life feel navigable. Unwitnessed is a collection of essays about grief that doesn’t qualify for ceremony. The kind
Load, Pressure, and the Accidental Discovery of Flow
Jan 18, 2026 For a long time, I thought connection required force. Not manipulation. Not persuasion. Just… effort. More words. More care. More attention. More emotional torque applied at the right angle. If something mattered, I leaned into it. If it didn’t move, I pushed harder. That felt responsible.

When the Mirror Stops Reflecting
Oct 16, 2025 “Another small autopsy of connection.” Sometimes a friendship doesn’t die—it simply stops seeing. There’s no obituary for that, only a shift in the air, a silence where warmth used to live. We write about this kind of ending again and again, each time thinking
Emotions Never Call Ahead
Nov 20, 2025 Something happens. Then your mind gets involved, and all hell breaks loose. Here come the emotions — showing up like relatives at an unplanned family reunion. And really, when do those ever go smoothly? Someone’s always lost, someone’s always late. But they come anyway. From all
Emotional Hygiene
Dec 28, 2025 Just got my teeth cleaned. Why can’t we do that for our emotions? Why can’t we have a twice-a-year cleaning where we sit down, open wide, and let someone scrape the plaque off our inner lives. The buildup. The stuff we swear isn’t there
