the breath work, it wasn't a release exactly, more like a rupture, like something in the deep places, down near the diaphragm, just gave way without permission and now there’s this… exposed edge. it's not painful, not exactly, but it’s definitely not comfortable either, this sudden UNmooring, a feeling like the internal anchor just dragged across the seafloor, no longer holding, and i’ve spent so long trying to hold it all together, trying to discipline the scattered parts, and now it’s just… everywhere. it's like the energy in my quads after a long push, that low thrumming vibration that settles in, but this is inside, in the gut, a different kind of tremor, not from effort but from the lack of it, from the sudden lack of needing to HOLD, and it reminds me of those moments on the trail when the legs just stopped, that full halt, not from weakness but a complete disconnect, then the body found its own rhythm, unasked, but this is an internal trail, and it's not pulling me forward yet, it’s just… unraveling, a beautiful, terrifying unraveling, a necessary chaos, a clearing out of something i didn’t even know was taking up so much space, like a breath so deep it clears out the very bones.
