Coexistence

Co-existence is a quiet, emotional exploration of living between worlds that don't quite fit. The narrator exists inside invisible bubbles, some protective, some suffocating; each shaped by identity, memory, and expectation. As college life nears end, the present feels unstable, haunted by earlier versions of the self and by questions that refuse simple answers. Desire, belonging and self-definition blur together, especially when the past resurfaces in unexpected ways. This story isn't about choosing sides or reaching neat conclusions, it's about learning how to breathe while holding contradictions at the same time.
