Wow, this is incredible, Mesa. You are beautifully mastering the craft of saying so much with so few words, and it's poetic and deep and so profound to behold.
Sometimes I wonder why am I here? Why do I have consciousness and for what am I always searching for? There is this void within me, one I feel like I was born with. One I've never known what living without it even feels like. This void is like a dark room where all of my trauma lives, uninvited, unwanted but here, regardless. I realize that I don't even know who I am. I am a breathing, walking, living strange collections of unknown energy. I am so lost, so full of broken pieces.
At first I thought this was your essay from WITD School and I'm floored you could write it in 8 minutes. But you have all the tension, the buildup--so good Mesa--just fabulous. And whether or not it's from last Thursday's class or not, it's gold. I'm still trying to figure out if this first exercise will go on to be something greater for myself. You're clearly there. So glad you shared, Trish

Hi Trish! It’s not from last Thursday, unfortunately I ended up having to leave halfway through so I need to go back and do the assignment 😍😍
Thank you for your support and kind words! This little snippet is the starting point of my memoir 😍😍 I can’t wait to write more!
Powereful.
I wonder how many of us sit on our parents’ divorce documents until the moment we have the courage to look? https://twohouses.substack.com/p/riptide?r=nbjv0
Thank you, Eliza ♥️ and yeah, I have wondered if my mom had not died when she did would I have ever seen those documents?
A complete turning point in my life.
Fascinating
