“I’m not going to tell you that I healed you, that everything is better. What I did, is make you lighter.” Yes, perhaps Thomas did move something inside of me, but beyond that, he challenged my perspective. He let me know that maybe, just maybe, the way I saw myself wasn’t the truth.

Writing creates a playground for self-exploration. To build and deconstruct thoughts and feelings, to learn the functionality of your being. We can gain clarity, capturing ruminating thoughts and forcing them or allowing them to fall onto a page for careful understanding.

Letting go of everything, I found myself learning to trust the non-linearity of life. Understanding that these thoughts, this world, ourselves, are impermanent. Our future is not definite.
