Sondered By You (Ongoing)

Growth Series #1:

I spent years watching people.
On the train, in grocery lines, in the way strangers laugh too loud or leave too fast. I told myself I understood them. Their secrets, their silences, the lives I'd never be part of.

It felt like enough.
Like if I could see everyone else clearly, I wouldn't have to look too hard at myself.

Not until you.
You didn't try to fix me or make me smaller. You just looked at me like I was a whole person, not a role in your story.

And for the first time, I felt seen.
For the first time, I was sondered by you.
