The narrative trajectory of someone getting their act together — the visible, often publicly documented journey from scattered and misaligned to purposeful and coherent. Borrowed from storytelling vocabulary, an align arc is when your life starts to look like a plot that's heading somewhere intentional. People post about their align arcs on TikTok with 'glow up' energy, charting the before and after of their values, habits, and relationships all finally clicking into place.
A period of intense personal transformation or escalation — a mad arc is when someone's story gets turned up to maximum drama or growth in a short span.

A trust arc is the full narrative journey of trust in a relationship — from the cautious early days, through the tests and betrayals, up to whatever level of confidence you eventually land at. Borrowed from storytelling vocabulary, it acknowledges that trust isn't a static fact but a plot that develops over time.
