It starts with a flash, a vision, a thought.
The jump, the fall, the cut, the crash,
once fleeting now it fucking lasts.
The upward slash, the clash.
The faith filled one who met her match.

Today I made the harder choice.
To exit the ledge and choose to rejoice.

Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
