This is about a dream I had last night, which is most certainly the subject of this entire stream I have been working on here.

Still me talking about the biggest mistake of my life this story as every story I tell you all lead up to one point or another.. now what that point is.. I guess we will find out together!

How do I get over the loss of my sister when I don’t even know how to start processing it? I am 32, single mom of one, and taking care of her daughter. I do my best. But… It’s getting harder and garder as time goes on. Because I don’t want to process that she’s gone. I know she is. But I don’t want it to be true. Months later and I am still suffering.

I Tell her daughter just how much her mom loved her. But… I wish she was here to tell her daughter.

Every place we go, we’re told how to live. Quietly, subtly, and sometimes loudly. People don’t even realize they’re doing it—passing on rules dressed up as values, expectations disguised as love. “Get a job. Make money. Find a spouse. Buy a house. Don't talk too much about your feelings. Forget what hurt you. Be strong. Be silent.” And if you don't follow that script? You’re called broken. Or lazy. Or too sensitive. Or worst of all—ungrateful. But what if the script is wrong? I didn’t just wake up one day and question these things. Life cracked me open. Trauma forced me to see the cracks in the system, the silence in the spaces where people should have been speaking up. I almost died from a pulmonary embolism that doctors ignored. I suffered deeply—emotionally, physically, spiritually—and it cost me years of my life. But it also gave me something most people never get: clarity. The kind you earn, not inherit.

But beneath the polished routines and polite smiles, Emma felt like a ghost inside her own life.

It reflects not who she is, but who she was before the world taught her to forget. This is the story of what happens when the life you’ve built is suddenly confronted by the person you’ve buried. When your reflection isn’t just glass—it’s a reckoning. In a world that rewards surface over soul, Emma begins a journey that will awaken her—and everyone around her—to the cost of hiding from your own truth. Some mirrors show your face. This one shows your purpose.
