Ruminating with purpose
There are hundreds of articles and books that guide you to stop looking back at your past in order to move forward. I’m sure you’ve heard of or encountered at some point in your life someone to tell you that you need to get over your past or certain aspects of it. What does that even mean?

I think that a lot of people who struggle with depression also fear failure, especially when they convince themselves that their depression is “fixable”. When you convince yourself that failure is not an option you “fail” to fully grasp the idea that there are lessons to be learned, that there is something to gain in the long run.

I started thinking about the way we get attached to our darkness, especially if you’re creative or an artist. There is something mysterious and attractive about darkness; we are drawn by the darkness in ourselves and others.
