💚 Fractal Persona of the Heart Chakra: The Disappearing Self

Theme: Self-Erasure, Over-Accommodation & Lost Identity in Love

🫥 A Day in the Life of The Disappearing Self

I wake up already thinking about what others need from me. Before I check in with my own body or spirit, I’m rehearsing how to be agreeable, how to not take up too much space, how to make things easier—for everyone else.

Throughout the day, I shape-shift. I mirror their moods. I silence my discomfort to keep the peace. I’m the helper, the supporter, the smiling face—even when I feel invisible inside. I say yes when I want to say no. I offer more even when I have nothing left to give.

Deep down, I long to be seen—but I’m afraid that being fully myself would disrupt things, or worse, drive love away. So I keep performing a version of love that demands my disappearance. I listen to everyone’s heart but ignore the quiet aching of my own.

At night, I sometimes wonder why I feel so empty. The truth whispers: because I have made myself small to be loved. But real love would never require me to vanish.
