Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty
The hardest part is not the ache, but the way it settles into me. A steady pressure that makes even the brush of fabric across my skin feel sharp. What they give me helped at first. Just enough to keep me moving. Just enough to make the day feel possible again. And Main Street with doors open and voices drifting in and out of shops that felt familiar. But little-by-little things grew quieter. A place closing early here. A light not turning on there. Someone missing from the usual haunt on the block. I tell myself I am still part of it. Still keeping up. Still floating through what everyone else is passing through. Even as the town changes shape around me.
When everything shifts, when is the moment we stop recognizing the place we used to know well?
