The Epiphany

The Epiphany

There is something to be said about those who leave all attachments behind to go off into the nothingness in order to find themselves. What has happened to them in their life that brought them to that exact moment? Literally throwing their hands up in frustration and saying, "ENOUGH!"

I feel like all nomads have this moment. I, am one of them. Life builds up and up and up and up.... only to get lost in the mix of it all and feel insignificant. Breaking away and free is the equivalent of a butterfly emerging from it's chrysalis, a complete transformation. The trials we face along the way are almost identical to the fight and struggle that the butterfly needs to endure in order for its wings to be strong enough to flutter. 

There is a thought process and a building of courage before deciding to run off into the nothingness and recreate yourself. The nagging thought becoming a craving, then an ache, plans and what ifs swirl and weave themselves in and out of daily thoughts and musings. It builds, the overwhelming feeling of needing to be yourself, then even breathing doesn't fill your lungs the same way that it used to. That is when it happens, the moment of change, that overwhelming climax of emotions.
