Remember who you are, then remind the others. Not with words, but by becoming everything they were taught to forget

“I’m not.”
“You’ve barely talked to me.”
I finally said it.
“I don’t understand why your ex needed to be here.”
She got defensive.
“He’s my friend. You’re being insecure.”
“I didn’t say you couldn’t have friends.”
“Then what’s the problem?”
“The problem is that you keep telling me how amazing he was, and now he’s standing at your birthday party giving you things that remind you of your relationship.”
She rolled her eyes.
Then she said something that made the entire conversation worse.
“I invited him because I knew he’d actually make my birthday special.”
I went quiet.
She immediately realized how that sounded.
“That isn’t what I meant.”
But it was already out.
I left the party that night.
Not because she had an ex.
Because for the first time, I realized I might be competing with a relationship she never completely left behind.
Sometimes the problem isn’t the ex.
It’s realizing your partner still speaks about them like they’re the one who got away.

I'm gonna need a minute
Red mercury, in the language of the alchemists, is not a metal but the hidden fire of the blood; the condensed, living current that refuses to be captured by surface, by ego, by the world of appearances.
The mirror can only reflect what has already hardened into form; it cannot hold what is still becoming. Garlic however, the pungent guardian of the threshold, does not repel a demon so much as it names the boundary: the dense, earthy, solar body will not host what feeds on shadow and imitation.
So the experiment is not about a forbidden compound. It is about whether you know the reflection is you.
When the substance of the soul will not appear in the glass, and when the old protections of the earth still work, you are being shown that consciousness is not an image, it is a current that can only be known by what it refuses to become.
