Author: Unfinished Rooms

I write from the middle of things, where memory lingers like dust in corners, and healing is still in progress. Unfinished Rooms is the space I return to, the emotional architecture of my life, half-built and still echoing. Here, I gather the fragments. The grief. The laughter. The silence. Here, I write lived stories. Always raw. Sometimes tender. Never complete. And other times, when it’s too much to feel, I escape into stories I make up. Stories that echo my truth, even when they aren’t real. This blog is me, making a home inside the mess. Rebuilding, one Unfinished Room at a time.

Till Next Time

He rests the needle on the vinyl, the soft hum filling the room. I take a sip from my glass as his hand traces the edge of my thigh. Shadows play across his face, and for a moment, the world outside ceases to exist. Still intimate, still ours. For now. Till next time.

Heavy Closeness

This piece is an exploration of what it means to grow up without room to breathe; in a house full of bodies, objects, noise, and unspoken rules. It’s a story about learning closeness before I ever learned space. About how love can feel like suffocation when your childhood taught you to shrink instead of exist. I return to the fragments of myself I once abandoned; the little girl who didn’t have a corner of the bed, the teenager who walked until the panic left her chest, the woman who craves intimacy but fears being swallowed by it. This is my attempt to press play again. To rebuild the home inside me. To stay this time. To breathe.
