I wanna share this with you all. How my mind works. What I've been going through mentally. This is going to get metaphorical really quick.

Imagine a place like the Faroe Islands or the isle of sky. A large grass field with cliffs and drops to the ocean.

I built my fortress there. Where I kept my precious memories. Where I could be safe. It had a garden in the back where I'd bury my feelings. Firing someone that didn't deserve it, even though I fought back, dead animals, dead relatives, relationships breaking down because of cheating.

I built a large wall surrounding the fortress and would only let a few select people in. They had proven themselves. Of course the animals were let in because they're innocent. Those walls kept people out that did love me but I couldn't see it because I was drinking to much. So they'd clamor at the walls and I'd ignore them. They eventually all went away. To leave me on my own. At the time I thought it was great. No more no noise, however slowly I realized that my soul was dying.

A new part of me was born after some major hardships and he came to the fortress. Kicking and screaming he dragged me out by the collar while the structure and the walls were collapsing. Lying on the ground he told me, "you go back there, you're dead. There's nothing left for you here." He pointed at the horizon as the sun was coming up and said, "we must go there. You can't worry about what will happen or might happen, we have to go." He picked me up and we merged together. I had a pack back with the most important things in it. Love, knowledge and reaching out to those that left. My fur buddies rallied around and we headed off.
