Throughout my life, I longed for something while I felt empty inside. I sought what I thought I needed from the outside, always chasing what would temporarily fill the void. The moment I stopped the chase, I felt defeated, thinking I would never find it. As I lived my life in safety, slinking into the warmth of complacency, I lowered my expectations. While trying to achieve happiness through a comfortably numb state of mind, I was ignited by a power so strong. I couldn’t help but follow it as it called out to me. This power was love. It awakened me. This power was what I was destined for. I followed the flame as it exposed my darkness, bringing me closer to the light. Through uncomfortable obstacles and chaos, I found my purpose. I finally found the power that had lain dormant within me the entire time.
