A protoplanetary disk is a rotating circumstellar disk of dense gas and dust surrounding a young newly formed star, a T Tauri star, or Herbig Ae/Be star. The protoplanetary disk may also be considered an accretion disk for the star itself, because gases or other material may be falling from the inner edge of the disk onto the surface of the star. This process should not be confused with the accretion process thought to build up the planets themselves. Externally illuminated photo-evaporating protoplanetary disks are called proplyds.

The nebular hypothesis of solar system formation describes how protoplanetary disks are thought to evolve into planetary systems. Electrostatic and gravitational interactions may cause the dust and ice grains in the disk to accrete into planetesimals. This process competes against the stellar wind, which drives the gas out of the system, and gravity (accretion), which pulls material into the central T Tauri star.

You were once my safe place— a shelter, a rock I could lean against when the world felt too heavy.

But now, it no longer feels safe to say what I feel. Even my thoughts aren’t mine for long— they’re taken, reshaped, twisted into something that fits your story better than it fits my truth.

I want to grow with you. I want to heal. I still reach for that version of us that felt soft, steady. But lately, I wonder if I’m only here so you can feel full, so you can feel enough.
