When Closeness Isn't Care

Jaisha Wallentine

The Kneaded But Never Risen

Dear Crumbheads,

They touched you with intention. But never gave you space to rise. The Kneaded But Never Risen archetype holds every warmth that never became care. Just pressure. Just closeness without follow-through.

You waited. You hoped. You stayed soft. But they never let you rise.

You don’t have to keep showing up to be loved.
I once clung to a rolling pin hoping it would hug me back.

Take ten minutes to sit where no one needs you. Breathe without adjusting.

Your warmth deserves to rise with someone who makes space for it.
