Uprooted, taken out of a place where you thought you were safe.

Not slowly. Carelessly, while  building something you believed could hold you.

Uprooting creates isolation. Isolation leads to Instability. A fracture in identity.

What is lost is not only a place, but a project, an idea, a version of yourself that depended on that ground to exist.

A feeling of no longer belonging anywhere , of being pushed into the shadows, discarded from what once felt certain.

But maybe uprooting is not only removal and discard.

Maybe it is also the moment where something begins to reform.

To place roots where they never existed before.

To become visible in a place that once held no space for you.

Not the same.

But alive in a different way
