Personal Essays by Peak Afflatus

I write to understand myself and others, to make sense of a neurodivergent mind shaped by collapse and shifting perspectives. These essays move between the personal and the collective, exploring how perception distorts, how systems condition, and how clarity emerges after the mess.
