Enough

Mia learned at sixteen that the way to be safe was to be small. She got so good at it that her body started eating itself.

Now she's twenty-four, engaged, and working a job she's good at in a small Minnesota town she never planned to stay in. She has a fiance who cooks her vegetarian dinners on the Blackstone without being asked, a list of teacher comments that reads like a diagnosis she can't get anyone to confirm, and a body that changed when the antidepressants and antipsychotics did their job - and she doesn't recognize it anymore.

The anorexia she survived as a teenager was about not. This is different. This is about undoing.

Between the storage room at work, the stair stepper in the basement at 3 a.m., and the quiet war she's been fighting with her own reflection, Mia is trying to hold on to the life she built - the ring on her finger, the man who loves her, the job she's finally good at. But she's running out of room to hide the parts of herself she can't explain, and she's starting to wonder if the person who survived being small can ever learn to be enough.

A raw, unflinching story about eating disorders, neurodivergence, and the exhausting work of being alive - for anyone who has ever counted a skipped meal as a victory, or wondered what the word enough is supposed to mean.
