Infants on Thrones

A man writes a letter to his younger self at the moment of birth. Dear Chip – Chapter Two is a fiction-as-self-therapy meditation: piercing cries, blossoming lungs, controlled hallucinations, attachment theory, and the first grooves of trust and independence. Blending neuroscience, modern folklore, and lived experience, this lyrical and provocative reflection explores how realities diverge, how belief seeps in unnoticed, and how early wounds echo as lifelong patterns. It invites listeners to reconsider their own first breath — not as a single cry, but as the opening chord of a lifelong symphony.
