I never saw myself

So I built a mirror.

For six weeks, twelve hours a day, I taught myself to write code. A skill I was afraid of. Now it feels like logical magic.

I ran my own chart through it and found the part of myself I exiled. The thing I built showed me what I already knew. My hands trembled. But fear is my motivation, so I went deeper.

I named it the Cipher, because it reflects back what's already written in you.

I'm giving it away. No cost. Just a love letter to my fractal.

This is me healing my oldest wound. Visibility. And somewhere in there I found the medicine for somebody else.

Before you can be seen, you have to see yourself.

Then send it to one person you love.

You can't look at your own Sun directly. That's what the mirror is for. 🔑

P.S. I'm going to write you most mornings for a while. If that's too much you can turn the daily off and keep the rest, or leave entirely. I won't take it personally.
