Abstract to Personal
I used to think politics were abstract, but it now feels personal.
I graduated college after a severe traumatic brain injury.

I used to think politics were abstract, but it now feels personal.
My views became less about labels and more about outcomes.
I moved from inherited beliefs toward ideas shaped by lived experience.
I imagine a desk with only essentials: a stack of lined paper, and an assortment of writing tools.

Three ornate windows which are rounded on top. My space allows silence without tension.

My ideal space feels calm without decoration.

I imagine a room that invites long sitting. A room with a big window and plants.
My space includes paper and nothing digital.
I picture a place with no clocks.
My reading space feels separate from work noise.
