About this listen

this episode of The Mess and the Meaning, Joi Sun speaks into the space left behind by absence: the father who vanished, the partner who never stayed, the masculine that withheld presence but demanded performance.
This is not a rant. It’s a reclamation.
Joi reflects on the impact of growing up shaped by energetic absence—where masculine protection was never modeled and approval had to be imagined. She speaks to the survival patterns that form around that void, the ghosts we learn to chase, and the moment we finally stop.
What happens when we no longer seek to be seen by the one who left? What happens when we become the one who stays?
This is a spoken essay for anyone who has built a life around the echoes of abandonment and is ready to replace performance with presence—within themselves first, and then with others.
