*JOURNAL ENTRY: 8/1/21

The above video clip is honestly the best way I've ever heard depression explained. I literally dipped off the grid for 16 years at one point, and it felt like "society" didn't even notice. In moments of willing isolation, I realized I was just an avatar in someone else's game, and that drove me to shut down entirely and check out "this life."

Years of doing nothing passed until one day my ego (mind) woke up from a deep slumber, and my soul (heart) was able to speak clearly with thought (will) and purpose (emotional desires) towards an intentional reality, no longer suspended in what seemed to be a stagnated rest.

A life that illuminated my autonomy and innate ability to make practical and deliberate choices that would not just benefit me now but also all those generations to come after me, who will learn to build the life we know we deserve as we age into our elderhood gracefully and comfortably without resistance.

Each of us represents a checkpoint of energic conscious awareness, one that becomes aligned within a faith of expanding wisdom and trust of the unknown. The process is not easy but necessary to more profound healing than most have ever had an opportunity to breach.

The body knows to allow life cycles to flow with the good, the uncomfortable, and most importantly, the painful. When the soul is ready to be seen, the old skin sheds, and the new you can begin with a fresh output and essence of resilience.

However, your body is asking for rest, pay attention, listen, apply empathy, trust in the process of expelling what does not belong to your loves. The rebirth and by-product become a well-rested, mentally responsible, emotionally balanced, and more loving you.

Love,

JAH
