day 1 – A 122-day journey into growth, silence, and surrender
what if i had the courage to embrace the future?
to embrace an adventure.
to embrace the unknown.
what would happen to me?
what if i pushed my limits?
reached capacities for life i didn’t even know existed within me?
what if i asked for more magic?
did the things i’ve always wanted to do?
i’ve spent the last four months in what i’d call a voluntary isolation. not a lonely, woe is me kind of isolation—more of a conscious pause. i wanted to face myself. to sit with myself. and i did.
but it’s time to face new questions.
what does it mean to live?
that’s the question i will live out over the next 122 days.
this will be my journal of that adventure. and maybe your mirror too.
i’m not sure what tone these writings will take, or even what they’ll entail—but that’s part of the magic.
over the past months, i’ve explored several different paths—each promising deep shifts. instead of choosing one, i’ve decided to take them all on. to layer them. to let each amplify the next.
not one adventure, but many.
not one method, but all.
a ripple effect.
this isn’t a how-to. it isn’t a rigid guide. maybe one day, i’ll go deeper into the details. for now, this is meant to stay open. undefined.
from what i’ve seen, true healing isn’t just physical. it’s mental. it’s spiritual. and so, that’s where i’ll go—into all three, fully.
so here it is:
rules
- eat like a lion
- train like a fighter
- meditate like a monk
- write like an author
- explore like a nomad
- learn like a fool
- play like a child
- hold reign over tongue
- life is not in a screen
- expect the unexpected
- don’t half-ass it
they’re meant to be ambiguous. interpret them as you will.
this is a summer of surrender.
let’s see where life takes me.
enjoy.
