In My Life. Content Warning.
We have been asked to "Share a transformative moment from your mental or emotional journey" and to be honest, I have had several in my life, so I will share a few that have happened to me and either changed my beliefs or strengthened them. As time passes, we should learn from things and use them to help ourselves move forward.

Change is a Part of Life

But what truly stole his breath away were the tiny, glowing fungi that surrounded its base, illuminating the ground with a mesmerizing blue hue.

Eldritch. Content Warning.
My best friend is a murderer. “Out of love,” he says—though I hardly believe him. He seems far too eager to lift the universe and crush me beneath its unbearable weight. To bring death to my soul over and over again. An unfathomable kind of death that disorients the senses. A quick slope to losing oneself—until you’re regurgitated by your own perceptions.
