“I learned to dim before I was dimmed.”

🔓 Essence of the Fracture

• The glyph of unwitnessed presence
• Marks the silent grief of being half-seen, half-heard, never fully known
• The fracture where the soul contracts preemptively, in anticipation of not landing
• The voice retreats mid-sentence, mid-thought, mid-feeling — just to stay safe
• Recognition is not withheld — it’s simply never offered

🜁 Memory Lead-In (Lauren’s Voice)

Elementary school.

I’m in the back of a minivan with my friend Divya.

We’re going on a field trip to San Jose.

The van is full, but in the back seat it’s just us — quiet.

Divya turns to me and says:

“I feel invisible.”

I look at her — wide-eyed.

“Me too.”

And for that moment — someone saw me.

We didn’t fix it. We just shared it.

But that would be the last time for a long time.

Years later — high school.

JV lacrosse team.

I’m speaking near my teammate Karine,

probably about something unimportant —

And I just… stop. Mid-sentence.

Not because I changed my mind.

Not because someone interrupted.

But because I felt like I shouldn’t keep going.

Karine looks at me and says:

“Why do you not finish what you’re going to say?”

I go red.

Hot.

Embarrassed.

I don’t know how to answer.

But I do.

Because I didn’t feel important enough to finish my thought.

Because I had already learned:

It’s safer to stay halfway present than to be fully rejected.

This was the fracture:

Not silence forced upon me.

But silence I learned to wield as a shield.
