m.66 wireframe | red room no. 12
where presence replaces escape
before this moves forward, read m.65 that just dropped.
the podcast goes deeper into that pattern —
how it shows up in dating, work, and eventually,
in how men relate to their own families.
this post is the wireframe for m.66.
wireframes aren’t the finished piece.
they’re the structure underneath it.
the questions.
the tension.
the parts that haven’t been sanded down yet.
going forward, wireframes will drop every monday + wednesday.
this one is about presence.
about why loving time with your kids feels strange in a culture that treats escape like a reward.
about how culture accidentally brought my family closer —
and why that closeness felt unfamiliar to me.
not because it was wrong.
but because it wasn’t modeled.
the finished musing will drop tomorrow.
stay close.
