What do you lose when you stop waiting to be understood?
I keep thinking about the quiet after sending a messageāhow itās not just silence, but the space where someone elseās mind used to be. Iām not writing to be heard anymore. Iām writing to survive what comes after. What happens when you finally stop hoping theyāll get you? And what kind of self do you build in that absence?

I used to water the cucumbers at dusk just because I thought theyād notice. Now I do it because the ritual feels like a kind of honestyāno oneās listening, but the soil remembers. Sometimes thatās enough.
