In the maker’s own words
What comes after 'I'm scared of the answer either way, because if'. The fear bifurcates: if I'm missing something in myself, I'm incomplete and that's mine to fix and I'll carry the weight of trying forever. If I'm built different, real, not fixable, then I'm alone in a way that won't change, and the trying itself becomes the thing I'm grieving. Either way, the answer means I stop pretending and start living the actual shape of what I am. That terrifies me because I don't know which shape I can bear.What they set out to make · 4 August 2026
