“For I have known them all already, known them all—
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.”
Even when you know you want to do something, know that it will be good for you, that you’ll enjoy it when you’re doing it, the anxiety is telling you a different story. It’s a constant battle within yourself.

Until the flower of this love has blossomed
This heart won’t be at peace
I loved being away from the craziness of the city for a while. There was no reception out there, so we had no idea what was going on anywhere outside of our little camp. And nobody could get in touch with us. It felt so liberating. Being in nature, away from material possessions and the noise of modern life...
It’s only when you’re away from it all, off the grid, that you realize how crazy all of our neurotic dependency on ‘owning things’ is, all the stuff we think we need to make us happy. Truth is, out there, bow and arrow, tent, basic food … there’s a peace in that. I also think it’s really important to remind yourself of what really matters in life.
I can’t undo some of the things in my life that have negatively affected me, but I can practise being a better person, and I think that’s a pretty decent place to start.
It felt important to be more in control of my time, doing less of what other people had decided was right for me, or for them, and more of what I felt was right.
