A friend of mine was ghosted recently and she was pretty broken up about it. They’d been on a few dates. Things were going well. She was genuinely excited for the “what’s next.” And then, out of nowhere, he ghosted her. He stopped responding to texts. He never gave an explanation. 

I’ve known for a while I wanted to write something down to commemorate another decade down. I still have so much to learn but I am beginning to believe wisdom comes at any age. Wisdom is always there waiting for you when you are ready to look up, look around, and take it all in.

I get emails all the time from people asking me to write about how, just how, to walk with someone through the woods. Through the pain of depression. Through a dark valley of an unseen illness that steals sleep and daily ambition.
