BACK TO LIFE, BACK TO REALITY

.
"There are times when it is necessary to reenter the confines of unaccompanied peril, a state of psychological and physical quarantine considered mandatory to test independent mettle. For the few that understand the sanctuary of this isolation, departing the fray of constant interaction and support is deliverance for the soul. It offers a distinctive chance for introspection, searching for reason devoid of extrinsic influence. This was a solo venture, taken in stride with only the echoes of an internal soundtrack to drive progress. In the desolate perimeter of solitude we can truly validate internal direction, delving the bowels of the sovereign spirit for persistence and grit. There are no motivational speeches, statistics to match, or independent parties to impress. Extraneous accountability evaporates alongside the byproduct of effort, leaving only the compass of deep-rooted ambition to guide us. Outside opinions have no place and collective goals have no meaning. Any self-imposed limits or restrictions are simply products analogous with the onset of surrender. It is here we find our own purpose, when no one is watching and no one cares."
