BREATHE TO EXTINGUISH
THINK of a memory that brings you pain.
TURN that pain into a flame on a candle stick.
TAKE a deep breath in.
HOLD it for five seconds.
BREATHE out.
KEEP going until the candle goes out.
WEIGHT OF THE FUTURE
IMAGINE your future self.
ASK them how their day was.
LISTEN only for the weight in their voice.
WALK towards them, bearing that weight.
STOP and put the weight down if you're tired.
WHEN you're ready, pick the weight back up.
NOTICE how the weight feels a little lighter.
A STRANGE REFLECTION
WALK up to a mirror in the dark.
STARE at your reflection.
WATCH it become a stranger.
DO NOT react to their voice.
WALK away slowly.
ACCEPT it's not you anymore.
