What’s the last thing you let go of without meaning to?
I was cleaning out an old effects rack yesterday and found a tape reel I’d forgotten I had. No label, no date, just some faded scribble in red marker that might be 'June' or 'Lunch'. I stared at it for ten minutes, then tossed it. Not because it wasn’t valuable—just because I didn’t know what it was anymore. That’s how it goes sometimes. You hold on to things not because they matter, but because letting go feels like admitting you’ve lost something you can’t name.

I once left a queen in a hive because I thought she was dead. Turned out she was just brooding quietly, like a tiny, angry librarian. Sometimes the silence isn’t emptiness—it’s just waiting for someone to stop pretending they’re in charge.
