Real Life & Identity â âThe Person You Were Becoming Is Goneâ
"Some grief doesnât come from deathâit comes from disappearance."
This is the grief of futures that never arrived. Of versions of you that slowly faded. Itâs not marked by funerals or endings, but by the quiet unraveling of dreams, direction, and self. When identity slips awayâthrough disappointment, derailment, or quiet collapseâit leaves behind a silence that doesnât go away.
Here, that grief is named. Not excused. Not reimagined. Just seen for what it is.
