Tethers

Exploring tethers with an audio  segment from patreon.com/sighswoon on the topic: 
A tether is someone who you attach yourself to and check up on daily. It can be one of your partner's exes, a career competitor, an influencer; it often feels secretive and intense, and it isn't always jealousy as much as a hunt for answers in this person's social media or gossip. They represent unknowns about your relationship, your career, your story, your value - you think you are looking at them but what you are really seeking is information and clues, like a tarot card, on yourself and your place in the world.
