Down the Beaten Path
As a child, we all have our own little fantasy on how our future into adulthood will turn out. We will never stop dancing in the rain. Barefoot and fearless will always burn in our heart's desire. Nobody will ever dim that part of us! We will be damn sure to not sacrifice our passions and happiness for the sake of anyone. We will not become lost on the never changing cycle of the mundane destined to crash and burn with unhappiness just like our parents did, right? But, then we do get older. Our passion for voicing the fire in our veins eventually becomes mute through every trauma experienced along the way. Then before you know it, you're in your twenties and suddenly you have stopped slaying dragons while dodging explosions in your hallway on the way to your nightly shower. There's no more magic peppering your ceiling while you lay awake waiting to be transported into the alternate crime fighting universe of your dreams. You fear dancing in the rain because the storms bring lightning. It's at this point that we stop fighting to live and start fighting to survive. Fear has now engulfed the magic of what could be. Snuffing out the very essence of life. The impending doom of being forced to live the same exact day over and over again further being forced down into the black abyss our younger selves swore we would never go.

I Will Turn These Tears Into Weapons
Countless research and countless hours of reading. I have tried to understand and let myself feel these emotions. It hurt so much while I was in the middle of our battle, but leaving has only brought me a brief pause of relief. Nothing and nobody could have prepared me for the downright turmoil my heart and brain would go through trying to fight one another. One of them wants to go back, but the other knows it is but a pointless journey that leads nowhere new.
