This sub cuts deep for me. It’s like being able to step off the hamster wheel and reassess my path. But also have the courage to do so while simultaneously digging into all the things that perpetuate that hamster wheel.
I’ve felt the deepest levels of emotional pain on this title. Last night it felt like I had knots in my stomach breaking apart, I could feel the years of tension held there and how it coincided with very specific emotions that are repressed or avoided.
I also notice a challenging of beliefs. “Good things don’t last, the darkness always returns”. The default always being unhappiness and struggle, with sprinkles of joy and happiness. I’m trying to flip that around and make the dark days the rare occurrences instead.
This one really puts into perspective for me what I perpetuate and hold onto as truth. When really it’s just a collection of beliefs and experiences that cemented my current experience of life. Then experientially moving past that on an emotional level. That is the important part, actually experiencing that shift. All the fluffy language and theory about how to live a better life doesn’t amount to much if it doesn’t happen on a deeper level. And I feel like this title can somehow get deeper than anything I’ve run in the past.
