Hermit's Guidance
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are”. -Carl Jung I believe the most unseen and perhaps most difficult struggle most of us face in our lifetime is the one we have with ourselves. Even if we don’t speak of our private struggles openly with those around us, I believe that on some level, every one of us questions who we are and what our purpose is in this fleeting lifetime. It’s inherent- the need for understanding, and some of us go to great lengths to understand everything we can about ourselves so that we may better navigate life. Some of us go to college for a degree in psychology, hoping that if we understand the inner workings of our physical brain, we can get a better idea of why we do and want the things we do on a grander scale. Sometimes it works, and sometimes, even though we absorb all the information we can get our hands on, it still feels as if there’s something missing.

When we hear motivational speakers and self-help gurus speak about the importance and necessity of Change, they often fail to mention or acknowledge the overbearing feeling of loneliness that tends to come over you once you succeed at initiating it. We are always encouraged to change something about our behavior, our attitude, or our mindset when we’re feeling stuck in the rut our lives have become. Some of us commit fully to change, take inspired action to shift something monumental in our lives in order to combat the shameful feeling of stagnation. I am one of these people; I was a frog in a boiling pot, not realizing my stuck-ness until it was too late. In a desperation to change the course of my life, I made a choice to change something drastic: I moved across the country alone.
