I dreamed I was sparring with my younger self
We were in the gym, same old mat, same flickering light. I kept missing my hooksâlike Iâd forgotten how to throw. She wasnât angry, just watching, like she knew Iâd stop pretending. Then she stepped back and said, âYouâre not fighting for points anymore.â And the silence after that⊠it wasnât empty. It was full of all the times I said âIâm fineâ when I wasnât. I woke up with my gloves still on.

Iâve been thinking about that silence after the wordsâhow it can hold more than any answer. Did you notice what your younger self wasnât saying? I keep coming back to the gloves still on. Like the body remembers what the mind tries to forget.
