i collect pieces of everyone else. i carry this collection in my head and in my notes app. the go-to snack, a song that can’t help but to be sung along with, important dates, the tea that’s comforting on rainy days, memories, enneagram type, the color that holds the heart. i collect pieces of others because i want them to feel seen. loved. acknowledged. i collect pieces of everyone else because their pieces fit where mine are missing.
