Stick Drift

Describes an affliction impacting joysticks on gaming controllers.

Stick drift is when a controller’s joysticks act as if they’re being moved, despite being still. This typically occurs when dust and debris get under the joystick and interfere with its sensors.

This occurs with most major console controllers, though the Nintendo Switch joycons have earned the most notoriety for stick drift problems.

Magnetic Drift

When two people pull away from each other out of fear of how intense their love is, but are inevitably pulled back together because they are homes to one another.
They were caught in a magnetic drift, pulling apart out of fear but always returning.

Our first talk felt so light that I didn't realize it was the beginning of something so deep. You moved into my life with such gentle patience that I didn't even notice I was rewriting my future to include you.

I look back now and realize that because it felt so effortless, we both dropped our guards. And when things started to feel real, we both got scared. We retreated into ourselves at times, trying to protect our hearts from the weight of it all. But the most honest thing I can say is this: no matter how far we drifted or how much we retreated, we always found our way back.

Slowly, I realized I wasn't just making room for you, I was building my life around the fact that you belong there.

I am still waiting to know more about that private frequency you talked about

I am here now, settled and sure, loving you more than words can hold.
