this piece was created at the beginning of the cold season, during a period of purposeful isolation. three months of sobriety, though a choice made for my own growth, often felt like a cosmic isolation. during this time, the true foundations of my friendships revealed themselves. alone with my thoughts, i confronted moments of past behaviors, reflecting deeply on decisions and unraveling them through new, illuminating perspectives. sobriety became an act of lifting the veil of victimhood and stepping into divine accountability. i held my vulnerability, free of distractions. in this clarity, it became evident that old habits were dissolving-not by my will, but as a part of a greater universal alignment. one i felt compelled to follow.
