You captured something most people miss about transformation—that it’s not just about becoming, but about letting go of a version of yourself you once survived through. That split you wrote about—the psychic rupture—that’s real. And I’ve felt it.
I also loved how gently you held Nicholas’s story. You didn’t turn it into a lesson. You just let it breathe. The details, the couches, the photos, the quiet tension… it made the piece feel alive and human.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s a powerful reminder that we don’t need to be finished to be whole.
Loved this chapter both times I read / listened to it. So glad it’s getting promoted! 😍
Thanks so much for publishing, Anton!
Kara,
This was beautiful.
