Writing is one of the best forms of release for me. Especially now, in times of extreme stress. My preparation does not seem to be enough and I cannot sleep because my mind refuses to be still.

This is just one of the hurdles, but at this moment, it appears to be the biggest one for now. Sometimes I begin to wonder what I am putting myself through when I was in my comfort zone before. I must have forgotten why.

My heart and mind wrestles with many things and I feel fear and negativity. It is going to take me every ounce of my energy to keep my spirits high.
