The Empty Pillow: Reflections on Losing Yourself and Finding the Way Back - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Nobody loses themselves in one night. You lose yourself in a thousand small agreements.

A preference you didn't mention because it was easier. A plan you cancelled because someone sighed. An evening you gave up that nobody asked you to give up.

None of them cost anything on their own. That's exactly why you made them. And then one day someone asks what you want for dinner, and the panic that comes up is far too large for the question.

THE EMPTY PILLOW is an account of nine years spent disappearing inside an ordinary life — and of the slow, unglamorous work of coming back. Short reflections and quiet pieces, written in the hours when there was nobody to send them to.

It doesn't promise you'll be fixed. It offers something more useful: the sound of someone telling the truth about how it happens, and how it stops.

Inside:
— How it happens, in increments nobody notices
— The people who shaped it, including the ones who meant no harm
— What it costs, itemised
— The turn, and why anger arrives late
— Coming back, in pieces small enough to actually do

For anyone who has been described as strong, reliable, easy to be around — and cannot remember the last time they said what they actually wanted.
