Full Steam Ahead
It’s not you, it’s me
She loved every detail about him
She even loved his little quirks
because they are who he is,
but she never got to
beg for him to stay
because she saw
now, that that
ship had
sailed.

New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.
