About projection, assumptions, and the stories we create about people we barely know. A reminder that behind every smile, success, and appearance lies a life we may never fully understand
Your poem is beautifully written. Most times, beneath beauty lies deep scars. I'm truly glad my writing was among those that gave you the courage to start your new journey. I look forward to it.❤️
I got the chills when I finish reading this. It has such a powerful restraint while still carrying the emotional weight of the past with such precision left me deeply impressed. It’s one of those pieces that lingers long after reading. One of the quiet miracles of writing is that we never know which sentence will become a bridge for someone else. Thank you for trusting your voice enough to begin this journey, and thank you for letting me know my words played a role in it.
You post moved me a lot back then. And you writing keeps doing that every time. It’s not just the courage to write these heavy piece, but to share them. I wrote mine long ago, but never dared to share them. And I found your writing, carrying so much weights and still so powerful. I admire that courage and maybe, I thought, I could make it.
The final line reframes the entire poem. A beautiful reminder that every person carries a story far deeper than what admiration alone can see. Very well penned ✨
Beautiful writing you shared @Odel Asseille

Thank you very much Tabitha. And welcome to The Mirror Room. That means a lot.
Extremely perceptive. And a particular aspect of the digital landscape.
The digital era increase that tendency to create a whole story based on images. And yet, we still know nothing!
Thank you, Alicia !
Really beautiful piece. I love how it builds a soft kind of awe that lands quiet yet powerfully, reminding us how little we really know. <3
Thank you, Petra !
We know very little, indeed. Even sometimes we might think we know it all
So true. You might enjoy my poem The Knowitall. <3
I'll take a look to it
