This Is What a Crisis of the Soul Looks Like (When You're Still In It)
I'm not writing this from the other side.
I'm not writing this with the benefit of hindsight, where I can tie everything up with a bow and tell you how it all worked out. I'm not going to give you the "here's what I learned" breakdown that makes everything feel neat and resolved.
I'm writing this from the middle. From the mess. From January 2027, where I'm battling depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and a bleak state of mind that I haven't felt this intensely in 8 years.
And I'm scared.
