It began with reflection. Inward reflection of the self. This last year has been, largely, a struggle— in both a physical and mental sense. My health deteriorated, seemingly out of nowhere, and I’m still attempting to regain normalcy and mediocrity… which wholeheartedly, I crave. I am eager for the a day where I feel completely myself again.
