Gemini

The version of yourself that you outgrew still shows up in conversations where you find yourself explaining more than the moment requires. You hear it in the extra sentences, the way you circle back to make sure you were understood correctly, the small corrections that nobody asked for. This older self had good reasons for all that careful translation work, but those reasons belong to rooms you no longer occupy. What you say now can stand without the footnotes. The people who matter will hear what you actually mean without you having to build a bridge between your words and your intention.
