I was tired of trying and failing.
You are the masterpiece you came here to discover.

It’s the most beautiful and liberating thing in the world.
I was tired of fighting.

But no matter what I read or practiced, I could never make the sadness budge for longer than a few fleeting moments - and even then, it was likely due to me being distracted from the sensation of sadness rather than anything actually shifting.

It’s still here.
