About this listen

🌫️ “Even when comfort returned, shame lingered like a ghost.”


After years of betrayal, false conviction, and silence, Bruce returns to Wilmington—not for justice, but for healing. In this tender chapter, we explore what it means to rebuild a life while still carrying the weight of a shattered past.


🌀 In This Episode:

✔️ Fleeting moments of reconnection and comfort

✔️ Poetry as both sanctuary and reminder of lost voice

✔️ The stigma of returning home with a criminal record

✔️ Co-authoring, creative community, and cautious belonging

✔️ Lingering shame in the face of small joys and quiet hope

✔️ Longing—for truth to be heard, for love to be safe again


💭 This episode is a meditation on survival—not through triumph, but through tenderness, truth-telling, and the hard work of resilience.
