The moment they saw the change in me without asking, not diagnosing, just seeing. What it felt like in my body when someone's attention landed on the real thing instead of the surface. And underneath it: the ache of speaking truth that lands but doesn't get held, doesn't get to matter enough to stop and rest. Both at once.
