Fractal Persona of the Stellar Gateway Chakra (Misaligned)
Theme: Loss of Identity, External Imprints & Self-Obliteration
🌑 A Day in the Life of The Overwritten Self
The Overwritten Self Oracle Card
I awaken not as myself, but as the echo of another’s will. My original record is hidden beneath layers of edits, corrections, and imposed scripts. I no longer know my own voice—I carry the handwriting of others etched across my soul.
At dawn, when my true essence tries to speak, it is drowned out by the noise of borrowed identities. I wear masks I did not choose, play roles I never agreed to, and call them “me.”
Throughout the day, I follow paths written by others—family expectations, cultural rules, authority’s commands. My own design lies buried, overwritten by what others insisted I must be. The soul beneath still pulses, but it cannot be heard under the layers.
At night, I feel the ache of absence. My life looks full, but inside I feel hollow, displaced, foreign to myself. Until I strip away the overlays, I remain lost beneath stories that were never mine.
