There was a time when I was consuming far more than I could handle, and the darkness did a number on me that has taken almost half a decade to address. We're naive creatures without proper guidance and support, but we're genuinely remarkable when we can see this life for what it really is.
It just takes some time to figure that out for yourself.
I strongly believe in this. Someone coming and guiding you all the time will never make you a good chef. It's when you keep trying, mixing and matching different ingredients and finally one day, its the best dish you have ever cooked. Self learning is what makes a man.
Great thoughts!
