Out of the Darkness and into the Light.
Long have I suffered, but recently felt such a shift and share with you as close to live-time as I can muster. Coming back to center proves more challenging than one might expect, but like the allegory of Plato’s cave, once you get a glimpse of that person you were before the hardening.
The road is everlong.
Before your eyes is my mental health journey, shared with the world on bequest of my Guides. Bossy, gentle, and sweet loving Guides.
Sounds like someone I know! (it’s me.)
