March 17th, 2022, was a new day. One of Hope.

He set off on a hike in the woods destined to create a new form of “escape,” not one of comfort.

He hiked for a good 2 hours that day, pondering many relationships in his life, not just intimate, but everything.

Especially the one with himself. The one where he lets manipulative people tell him things that aren’t true.

He has spent his whole life running, chasing, and accepting the wrong shit in life. He knew it, but he couldn’t stop it. Even though many told him to just “do it,” it’s easy. Everyone knew what was best for him but for themselves.

That’s the way the world works. Most give advice that they aren’t using, he understands it though, it makes sense to him.

So many people gave him advice on how to live his life or how to handle what was going wrong, but he wouldn’t listen. But why would they offer advice when their own life was in shambles?

They “care,” that’s right. His problems are bigger than theirs so they will focus on his.
