The Art of Disappearing

[round depot]

True that, knowing when to disappear is an art of itself

love the last line.
i dont understand the blue moon reference.

the paradoxes you've used, it's very striking.
disappear, but dont cease to exist. lovely way to put it. it's like an escape. i like the language usage. it's gentle to read. easy to appreciate, but still carries the kind of depth that lingers.

Thank you for putting it out there

Thanks for this
It means Like an invisible blue moon means something rare and special, but hidden from sight.

It’s there, just like a blue moon is real, but you can’t see it—so it feels mysterious and magical, existing quietly without needing to be noticed. @stray terrace

oh my god

that is beautiful

that final line??

"disappear until everyone looks at you like the silence that once healed them"

there's something so cathartic and universal that line has

its bringing me to actual tears oh my god

😭

i wonder though what did you personally mean by it, i have my own interpretations but hearing your own understanding would be really cool (finish what ur typing first tho ofc)

Ya its when ppl feel ur presence even when u dissappear that healing feel its when ppl don't value u but when u dissappear they know u healed them

[static aspen]

that sense of being taken for granted

and the grief that comes from absence

that's really poignant

i love it

[rough geyser]

Yea when ppl don't see u but then the late realization hits

[rough geyser]

Yess

Wht was ur interpretation?

[static aspen]

when i heard "disappear until everyone looks at you like the silence that once healed them" in junction with how its from "whispers of ink" there's this like

im reading it and it seems its from the perspective of someone who has been emotionally invalidated so much and just treated as an afterthought, like someone who people will always go to for advice but never to talk to

someone who is like used as a tool of emotional release and to validate someone's thoughts

rather than them being an individual with their own level of depth and agency

it feels somewhat

vengeful in a good sense?

not vengeful perse but

a shocking moment of awareness

that

[rough geyser]

Yes u are right its personally felt tho

[static aspen]

this feels like confessional poetry in a sense, this may be presumptive of me but ill say it anyways

you are an amazing writer and you encapsulate such feelings and experiences in wonderful manners

and even withou that, you deserve so much

i hope that you find people who are willing to recognise you for you and not as just merely there as an extra or supporting character without ur own just as valid struggles and life

anyways

see u!
