Everyone starts somewhere

For most, we are raised up, taught and structured on what we should be, on what we should believe in and how we should behave. We are told to fit in to boxes of norms built by society, that certain ambitions and habits are respected and admired in which we should strive towards attaining them. Influenced by the friends and family around us, the society we grew up in throughout our life, when do our thoughts really become ours?

In time, we start to question ourselves and the things around us. With our minds focused on labels and classification, we search for new ways to label ourselves and fit in to boxes constructed by others once more, only to find that we fit in none of them.

A sense of emptiness looms over us. A slow descend in to the dark void, feeling lost or as though we are suffocating or drowning.

Periods such as these are when most would embark on a journey of self discovery and exploration.
