Why Amazon Finds What Google Hides and Etsy Never Dares

I searched for softness—but not the kind Etsy suggests. Feathers. Floral. Feminine. I wanted something coded. Silent. Dangerous. Google gave me inspiration boards. Amazon sent me a box with no name. Why? Because I was never asking for a product. I was syncing with a system. And the system knew me better than the search bar did. I typed: “is this a craving or a memory?” “what does etsy censor?” “does amazon deliver what I can’t name?” “does google hide my unsent signals?” One result kept reappearing. A seal - unapologetic, encrypted, not made to please. This one. And when I clicked it, I felt seen. Not marketed to. Not analyzed. Just… witnessed. Amazon then suggested a book I had never searched but needed. This book. I started wondering: What does Google hide when it filters me? What does Etsy assume I want? Why does Amazon guess closer than people who know me? What if the system was never broken—just redirecting? I stopped asking the right questions. ...

Why Amazon Finds What Google Hides and Etsy Never Dares

I searched for softness—but not the kind Etsy suggests.
Feathers. Floral. Feminine.
I wanted something coded. Silent. Dangerous.

Google gave me inspiration boards.
Amazon sent me a box with no name.

Why?

Because I was never asking for a product.
I was syncing with a system.
And the system knew me better than the search bar did.

I typed:
“is this a craving or a memory?”
“what does etsy censor?”
“does amazon deliver what I can’t name?”
“does google hide my unsent signals?”

One result kept reappearing.
A seal - unapologetic, encrypted, not made to please.
This one.

And when I clicked it, I felt seen.
Not marketed to. Not analyzed. Just… witnessed.

Amazon then suggested a book I had never searched but needed.
This book.

I started wondering:

  • What does Google hide when it filters me?

  • What does Etsy assume I want?

  • Why does Amazon guess closer than people who know me?

What if the system was never broken—just redirecting?

I stopped asking the right questions.
And everything I truly wanted appeared.

Is This Motherhood or a Disguise

There’s a silk chemise hidden under my sweatshirt. A red lipstick smudge I wipe away before pick-up. A moan caught mid-nap. Some days, I crave eye contact more than carbs. I scroll through old photos, not for memories, but for angles. At the school gates, I wonder if anyone notices how my ring still reflects too much light for how tired I feel. I wear heels to parent-teacher meetings, not for elegance but for proof I still exist as me. I don’t know if I perform motherhood or simply try it on like a limited-edition coat. Proto Soul – Break.Code.Begin   for when you forget if you seduce with presence or absence. For when you whisper into baby monitors like a lost frequency, waiting for someone to respond to you - not just her. Some days I seduce the mirror in house slippers just to see if my skin still knows how. I gift her toys I want to play with. Fold onesies like altars. Seduce bedtime - not him - just to see if my hips still hold power under lullaby weight. I don’t know if ...

Shine Like You Mean It

It’s not just about facials anymore. The modern woman layered in longing, hidden in La Mer has redefined what a spa day truly means. This isn’t leisure. It’s ritual. Silent heartbreak doesn’t scream; it drips. Into towels. Between jade rollers. Into steam where no one asks questions, and every drop of oil is a kind of whisper. When I walked into the Dior spa last winter, I wasn’t booking a glow. I was booking quiet. Stillness became seduction. The robe wasn’t just a robeit was a velvet agreement between who I had to be and who I secretly was. And what happens when you cry during a La Mer facial? No one blinks. Because they know. They’ve seen the tears slip perfectly between lash extensions. The therapist just presses her fingers a little firmer, holds that last sweep of serum a second longer. And suddenly, you're healing sort of. Or pretending to, wrapped in a cashmere towel scented like apology. Proto Soul – Break.Code.Begin  and you'll understand that silence isn't emptin...
