As I embarked on my emotional journey, I conjectured that the pernicious thoughts in my mind would soon be quelled. I was tired of the odious feelings that had plagued me for so long, and I was determined to find a way to move past them. With copious amounts of self-reflection, I began to make progress. The viscous doubts that once clouded my mind slowly began to dissipate, and a sense of clarity prevailed. Through this process, I came to understand the importance of letting go of the diminutive things that had been holding me back. With this newfound knowledge, I felt empowered to issue an edict to myself to focus on what truly mattered in my life. Alleged shortcomings that once haunted me now seemed trivial in comparison to the path I was forging for myself.
