I wrote this about five years ago, when I went into a ‘super spiritual’ phase, then promptly forgot about it. I found it last year and re-read it. The voice of a younger me is lacking in the first-person voice that I have since gravitated toward, but the message still feels right.
It was interesting to remember how different my life was when I wrote this, how much more, frankly, positive I was back then; yet in reading it I could remember seeing the concepts in here over and over since the four or five years since I had written it.
The only correction I would make is to say that many of these phases can cycle back and forth; these stages aren’t quite as static as to have such a strict hierarchy as younger Misty laid out herein.
