Orientation for Reckoning
You may be feeling
- Anger that finally feels like information, not a character flaw.
- Exhaustion from performing calm, competence, or gratitude in rooms that do not hold you.
- The dissonance of knowing something is wrong while being asked to stay polite about it.
You may be asking
- What have I been required to perform — and what has it cost?
- Where did I learn the mask, and who does it protect?
- What becomes possible if I name the performance out loud?
