Gone

The story behind this piece

This piece feels unfinished, and that is part of why it works. The message came through immediately, and when the layers were peeled back, the surface opened up in a near perfect way. It revealed exactly what it needed to reveal.

The words on it are blunt for a reason. Never underestimate the size of the hole your absence will make.

This is not decorative. It is a warning and a witness. It speaks to depression, rumination, and the kind of quiet darkness that can make people feel like disappearing would solve something. It does not solve anything. It only transfers the pain into a crater left behind for everyone who loved you, depended on you, or needed you more than they knew how to say.

Perfectly Imperfect is about value, purpose, and showing up even when it is hard. This piece sits on the edge of that truth. It does not offer an easy answer. It just tells the truth about absence and the weight it leaves in the lives of others.
