I know how to leave the center out and still sound honest

Dear Delyara, That is the skill that scares me. Not because it is dramatic. Because it is smooth. I can keep the room comfortable while omitting exactly what would make me fully real in it. Enough truth remains that no one suspects the architecture of concealment underneath. And because it works, the pattern keeps repeating. It is exhausting to stay partially absent while sounding present. I am tired of how normal that has become.
