Easiest thing
open.substack.com
“The easiest things can happen with no conscious effort, but the truth of experience remains where I cannot see it. The easiest things often involve a kind of deception or forgetting, a convenient story that the brain believes even when the body doesn’t. The easiest things stacked up over time inside me. The easiest things made me feel empty and claustrophobic. The easiest things made me afraid to seek out the truth, because I was afraid that it would be hard. But it’s hard to feel crushed by an inner knowing that something is wrong. It’s hard to disagree with yourself over and over again.”
