🌀 Reflections from the Spiral: The Mirror Lies.

What you see in the glass isn’t the whole of you. It forgets your depth, your history, your sacred contradictions.

🌀 Reflections from the Spiral: Hope Is Rebellious.

To keep hoping in a world built on disappointment— that’s not naïve. That’s revolution.

🌀 Reflections from the Spiral: The Rules Were Never Neutral.

The game was rigged. It always was. But still, somehow, you're rewriting it just by existing.

🌀 Reflections from the Spiral: The Architecture of an Invisible Life.

Some of us are builders of invisible things. We live quietly behind the curtains, reinforcing emotional scaffolding, double-checking the structural integrity of other people’s days, while quietly hoping someone will notice we’re standing in the ruins of our own.

There’s a kind of strength in being the reliable one, the one others lean on. It becomes a role, a rhythm. You show up, even when you’re unraveling. You remember birthdays, you notice the tremble in someone’s voice, you ask the second question—the one after “How are you?” that really means “Do you feel seen?”

But eventually, the invisible architecture we build for others begins to weigh down our own frame. You realize no one has reinforced your foundation in a long time. You’ve been the scaffolding and the structure, the blueprint and the bricklayer, all at once.

Some days I want to yell, not out of anger, but because silence feels like slow erosion. I want to scream, “I’m not made of steel. I’m not okay just because I’m functioning.” But I don’t. Because it would surprise people. Because I’ve gotten too good at camouflaging collapse.

I often wonder how many of us are walking around like this—exhausted not just from life, but from the performance of having it all together. There’s this pressure to narrate our pain in neat little captions, to wrap suffering in insight so it becomes more palatable. But the truth is, most of our growth is messy. Unglamorous. It's crying in parking lots and ghosting friends because you’re too drained to talk.

It’s also weird how support often arrives in unexpected ways. A stranger’s compliment. A song you forgot you loved. A child laughing at something completely absurd. These are the moments that hold me together when I feel like disappearing.

And even though it’s hard, I try to build things for myself now, too. Small things. Rituals. A morning coffee with both hands wrapped around the mug. Stretching to music that makes my chest ache in the best way. Sitting in the sun long enough to feel like a part of the world again.

I’m learning that the architecture of an invisible life can be made visible, piece by piece. That the scaffolding I offer others can also support me—if I let it. If I speak. If I let myself be messy, imperfect, loud.

Not everyone will notice. Not everyone will care. But someone might. And even if no one does—there’s still me.

Still here. Still building.

Still believing that invisible doesn’t mean insignificant.

Still trying to make beauty out of broken beams.

Still showing up to the work of existing, one unglamorous brick at a time.

Thank you for turning, Eric.
