You know how stories end? Slowly, then all at once.
The career that fit like armor now feels like a costume.
The relationship script you memorized has no next lines.
Even your spiritual practices taste like yesterday's bread.
You're between stories.
And despite what everyone tells you,
this isn't a problem to fix.
