The Candle That Reversed Shadows
Light That Revealed Truth
A strange candle in an old castle caused shadows to fall toward the flame instead of away from it. Anyone who stepped near found their shadow shrinking, as if lies and illusions were being burned away. One nobleman entered and watched his massive shadow collapse into nothing. Realizing how much falsehood he had lived, he renounced his wealth. The candle melted completely, leaving only one sentence burned into the floor: “Walk where your truth is not afraid to stand.”

The Silent Bell
A cathedral bell refused to ring, no matter how hard it was struck. Visitors complained until a monk suggested everyone sit beneath it in silence. As they did, each person felt a vibration through their chest—an echo of emotions they had tried to silence. The bell, it seemed, rang inward. It taught the village that sometimes the loudest answers are those that shake the heart, not the air.

Can Living Life Have A Freedom Effect
Freedom is part of living life, the way that it is part of living life is you give yourself variety. When you put your hobbies into the way you live your life there is always a freedom effect in it. The way that living life can have a freedom effect is you put the way you like to live your life in how you do it, and then do the things that bring you joy. The more you do the things that you enjoy the more freedom you have in your life. So put the hobbies in your life and live your life through the hobbies you have in life. The more you do the hobbies that you have in your life the more you will have freedom in your life. That I am sure of, because hobbies in life are freeing because they help you relax and give you so much more in the way of doing the hobbies that you enjoy. So the more you put your hobbies into the way you live your life the more freedom you will have by what you do in your hobbies.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
