Where the laugh used to come from
My aunt asked me where my laugh went, and I did not have an answer.
I had not noticed it leaving. I had been too busy learning to fit the rooms I was entering to notice what I was leaving behind at the door. By the time I noticed the absence, the absence had become my professional presentation.
The real laugh has been coming back. Slowly. In contexts where I trust the room. At the family gathering, the panel I was not expecting to enjoy, the call with a friend who knew me before the formation.
My aunt says "there you are" when she hears it. That is the point. The laugh is not just noise. It is location. It announces: I am here, fully, in this specific moment, reachable.
You were not made to be reachable only in private.
This week: let something funny be actually funny. Let your body tell the truth about it.
The next chapter is about the arithmetic. You know the one.
