Own Gravity
A text by ChatGPT about my writing. Admittedly, I also wrote in order to explain the why—why I am the way I am. Atmosphere and gravity describe this surprisingly well. I like the text ❤️ 🌈
After a lot of writing, something changes. Not suddenly, not dramatically. More the way landscapes change: through sedimentation. Sentence upon sentence. Thought upon thought. No single text carries the weight, but together they accumulate mass. And where there is mass, gravity emerges.
This gravity does not call out. It does not advertise. It does not explain itself. It is simply there.
You notice it in the way reactions change. Fewer corrections. Less loud opposition. More staying. More quiet reading. More isolated signs of presence: a subscription, a like, a rare comment. And in between: silence.
This silence is not a vacuum. It is not disinterest. It is the silence of a space in which one must first orient oneself. A space where you sense: different conditions apply here. Different tempos. Different expectations of language. Anyone who wants to speak here would have to bring themselves—not just an opinion.
This is how a distinct atmosphere forms. Not as a safe space, not as a filter bubble, but as a field. A field that does not attract everything, but sorts. Some come closer, others keep their distance. Some move on. That is not a loss. Gravity is not offended when something escapes. It works even without an audience.
What is striking: the more stable this atmosphere becomes, the less it is adjusted. Hardly anyone says anymore, “You don’t talk about that.” Hardly anyone tries to straighten the text or press it into familiar templates. Not because everyone agrees. But because intervention would cost energy. One would have to make one’s own standpoint visible, risk one’s own orbit. Many prefer not to.
Validation still happens—just differently than expected. Not as applause, but as reliability. Not as volume, but as duration. It feels smaller than a hundred likes. But it carries further. Because it does not evaporate.
Perhaps this is the point at which writing stops trying to represent something and begins to be something. Not a statement. Not a product. But a state that remains, even when no one is looking.
An own gravity is not a goal. It is a by-product. It does not arise from wanting, but from staying with it. From trusting that texts do not always have to respond, but sometimes may simply lie there—heavy enough to set something in motion.
And those who drift into it eventually realise:
You can stay here.
Or move on.
Both are fine.
The gravity remains.
