When Your Life Feels Like a Mistake
Nora Seed's life unravels in a single, devastating day. She loses her job at the music shop, finds her cat dead, learns her brother wants nothing to do with her, and faces the crushing reality that every major decision she's made feels catastrophically wrong. Once a promising swimmer, almost-successful musician, and engaged woman, she now describes herself as "antimatter"-someone whose very existence makes everything worse. What makes Nora's despair so visceral is its familiarity. She scrolls through social media watching others live seemingly perfect lives while feeling invisible. Her final post reads: "I feel like I'm lost in a maze of my own making." We've all felt this-the weight of paths not taken, relationships abandoned, dreams deferred. Depression doesn't announce itself with trumpets; it creeps in through the gap between who we are and who we thought we'd become. After swallowing antidepressants with wine, Nora expects death. Instead, she finds herself somewhere impossible: a library that exists between heartbeats, where every book contains a different life she could have lived.
