Personal Essay - Completed January 2026

Currently under simultaneous submission

Short Description:

The Shape of Pity is a personal essay set during a single evening in which an anticipated encounter shifts the terms of intimacy. What begins with clarity and control becomes a meditation on autonomy, obligation, and the moral tension that arises when empathy begins to influence decision.

The essay reflects on the difference between desire and responsibility, and on how compassion can quietly alter the terms of consent.
