From The Ashes You Shall Rise A Phoenix

Amor Fati

We all tend to get lost in the dark places of our minds.
Standing at the edge of everything the horizon seems clouded and distant. Your surroundings are enveloped by your negative stream of thoughts.

“What am I living for? What is my calling? Where am I supposed to go now? Can I do this, or am I not ready? Does anyone care? Am I the only one who…?”

These are the type of questions that keep tormenting our mental clarity.
We stand still. Inertia becomes the enemy of progress.

We feel like we’re not good enough for some reason. Most of the time, those reasons are external — from the outside world. However, our internal being is ultimately the curator of everything we think, say and do.

My friends, I have missed you.

Some of you have been sending me heart-warming emails and personal messages asking if I was okay and why I was absent. I have never experienced such kindness before, never felt what it means to be missed in that way. I most humbly appreciate the love and support you offered me.

For the past month have I resided in a grim place. I’m talking about a state of mind where nothing made sense to me. A lot of negative events happened…
