This Is How We Disappear

Disappearing rarely happens all at once. It happens every time we stop saying what we think. Every time we apologise for taking up space. Every time we become the version of ourselves we believe will make everyone else comfortable.

One day we wake up and wonder where we went.

The wonderful thing is… People do not simply disappear.

Sometimes they just need a good song, a long walk, a cup of tea, and enough courage to introduce themselves to themselves again.

“Hello you. How have you been?”
