episode 26.

this one’s about the day i marked myself for the first time.

a tattoo for stray kids, the music that raised me and kept me alive at 16yo.

the needle turned pain into permanence, memory into something i could carry on my skin.

sometimes forever is the gentlest way of saying thank u.

episode 25.

this one’s about the feelings that refuse to be translated.

how songs, films, and photographs sometimes speak better than words ever could.

and how our bodies carry a private vocabulary made of all the different senses.

not everything has to be named to be real.

episode 24.

this one’s about the versions of us that live in forgotten folders.

photos taken without thought, now holding feelings i couldn’t name back then.

how memory can linger in pixels, blurry, out of order, but still tender.

proof that even when i wasn’t fully present, i was still here.

episode 23.

this one’s about the kind of mess that builds quietly.

how neglected routines start to speak louder than words ever could.

the kitchen became a mirror, and every bowl, a confession i didn’t know i was making.

healing starts with the smallest, gentlest kind of return.

episode 22.

this one’s about the voices we hold onto.

the way a passing message becomes a place we return to over and over.

how replaying a voicemail can feel like reaching through silence and into memory.

and how some people echo long after they’re gone.

episode 21.

this one’s about the quiet shape of love.

the kind that hides in playlists, in check-ins, in watching ur favorite show just to feel closer to u.

affection can also live invisibly, but still can take up the entire heart.

even if no one sees it the way u do.

episode 20.

this one's about feeling everything when u have nothing left.

the kind of tired that isn't sleep and the kind of ache that doesn't ask to b fixed.

sometimes we're not breaking down, but we're just slowly running out.

and that's still a way of surviving.

episode 19.

this one's dedicated to 16yo me.

the night i finally saw stray kids live and the feeling of returning to the room i first dreamed in the next day.

also relates to how music can make you feel at home in ur body and soul.

and how coming back can feel like meeting yourself again.

episode 18.

this one's about the strange comfort of distraction.

the way we reach for our phones when we don’t know what else to feel.

how endless content becomes a shield that is soft, numbing, and familiar.

presence also means putting the screen down.

episode 17.

this one’s for the ones who hold on to the past deeply.

i don't read a lot, but the before the coffee gets cold series found me when i needed it.

also for when u've been haunted by the what-ifs, the what-whens, and the what-thens.

but r still able to find softness in the maybes.
