Your Mind Is a Garden: Water It
Dear Future Self, You did it. You got up from that dark room, opened the blinds, and welcomed the sunshine in. Like a snail lugging a heavy shell, it took all your bones- heavy as they were to wake up. Yet you did it. You woke up, had a workout, showered, made breakfast, and had coffee. In between sips, you savored the moment, making peace with yourself, vowing to try again after the battering your soul took. Upon wake, you tell yourself there is hope.

Identity in the wilderness
Ahh the wilderness. What a tragic place to be in. There are various definitions of the wilderness but for simplicity sake, I will focus on one. Merriam webster’s dictionary provided the following explanations of the wilderness; “a tract or region uncultivated and uninhabited by human beings”; and my personal favorite, “a bewildering situation”; how apt. Essentially its a sucky place that sucks to the highest heavens. For better understanding, the wilderness in question here is a metaphor for the point in time where all that lays before you and behind you is emptiness and the oasis you so thirst for has fucked off somewhere. Most people lovingly call this, the transition phase where there are little to no positive discernable and stable features of reality to grab a hold onto.
