Carried: Dandruff (I)
“I decide something, then spend the week arguing with the person who decided it.”
It runs as a standing dispute between what the mind concluded and what the chest actually wants, replayed over every commitment already made. Nothing settles: each choice is re-opened, examined for the flaw, and the examining is experienced as self-disgust rather than as care. This is the residue of a household that specialised in blame and doubt-raising, where a child's judgment was routinely put in question; what the shape asks for is a decision permitted to close without further proof.
Doubting Thomas, needing the hand in the wound before belief is permitted — except the claim under examination is one's own. The form implies a task: to act on a commitment before certainty arrives, since certainty is not coming.
