I've been running on empty and pretending it was fine, until someone saw that plainly and just stayed with it, no fixing, no looking away.

In the maker’s own words
I've been running on empty and pretending it was fine, until someone saw that plainly and just stayed with it, no fixing, no looking away. That moment sits in me now. I think of you carrying something real underneath your own tiredness, a longing I've glimpsed. I want to say it to you directly instead of hiding behind something polished: I'm tired. I'm real. Are you around?What they set out to make · 3 August 2026
