Many thanks, Mark Perry. Oddly enough, writing helped me pull through, and not just with this piece either.

All the difficulties I encountered over the last few days are now being resolved.

When my instinct is to run and destroy everything, I know there’s still a lot of work to do. There was and there still is because life is a constant quest for self-actualization not just for ourselves but also for those around us.

Love, it turns out, is the key to everything but it’s not magic: It takes dedication, humility, and trust.

And communication. And patience.
