FRACTURE

I spend almost all my days inside my room, sitting at my study table—writing, turning the pages of books, and sometimes using AI to understand things more deeply.

My world rarely stretches beyond these four walls. The only times I step outside are for grocery shopping, college, or coaching classes. Other than that, my days quietly begin and end in the same small corner.

The people I feel safest around are my parents, yet they’re also the people whose presence makes me feel the most uncomfortable. The people I like the most are my parents, yet they’re also the people who have hurt me the most.

If there is anyone I love the most, it’s my parents. And if there is anyone I hate the most, it’s also my parents. If I have any true friends, they’re my parents. And if I have any enemies, they’re still my parents.
