)O( The Dragon's Breath [inhale] )O(
Added 2024-11-03 01:56:55 +0000 UTCI'm sitting here at my desk, listening to the Deftones to invoke the power of my 28 year old self. I have experienced truly incomprehensible things in the last three months. My spiritual practice has been tested in new and painful ways I could never dream up in advance. Death has walked beside me, staring into my eyes, while he calmly explains my time is long from coming. The past attempted to rise up and swallow me whole while a simultaneous onslaught of false narratives created a hurricane of emotional evolution. I have given statements to cops and journalists, I have taken pictures of dead girls, I have calmly listened to the suicidal ideations of loved ones, I have seen children slaughtered on livestream.... and all the while, I remain fucking rooted to the truth, my path, and compassion. It's fucking intense. It took me a lot of courage to face this space, beloved reader. Not because I fear sharing this stormy scene with you, but because when I write, I come from a deep place of genuine vulnerability. I might be slow, I might be incapable of using a simplified syntax when I'm feeling especially raw, but I'm fucking serious about being here. Thank you for your patience, thank you for your support, and thank you so much for giving a fuck.
Exhale coming soon, but for now I hold my dragon's breath. <3
