I manifest wholeness

Wholeness is less about missing pieces than about whether the pieces are in contact with each other. Plenty of people are entirely complete and still run three separate versions of themselves — one for work, one for family, one for the friends who knew them at nineteen — and the switching costs more than any of the three admits.

The repair tends to be small and specific. Saying one true thing in the wrong room. Letting a colleague know something ordinary about your weekend.

Each of those stitches two parts together, and the join holds better than you would expect.
