On Embracing the Quiet

There is something to be said about being able to exist in the quiet revolutions of change.

It is possible to slow down, to take a minute to breathe.

This morning, I was walking to work and I could feel exhaustion creeping its way through my entire body. I asked myself, Do you want to go home and rest or do you want to power through?

For the first time in years, I called in sick, grabbed a coffee, and returned home.

I have been considering how only a week or two ago, I was frantic with worry.

Reading and writing have offered me an opportunity to digest other people’s views while expanding my own.

I have made the decision to apply for my Masters in Philosophy. I intend on writing about psychosis, mental illness, and the role that cultural frameworks plays in both.

There is a profound liberation in releasing old paradigms. Not everything that you believe is true, is.

I have missed this part of my personality deeply, the girl who wanted to follow her dreams wherever they might take her.
