The Lack
A musing on lack — how what we lack ends up shaping what we make others lack.
Lack is missed. Not when we fall short, but when something falls short in us. Because if we fall short, it's because something was lacking in us first. Sometimes we fall short in affection, when affection was never given to us. Sometimes we fall short in time, when we're busy with something else, trying to fill a void — or something missing.
Lack circles back. It always comes back to us.
