i lost sight of where i was for a bit. i describe it as a thick fog that's neverending. like im lost in a forest and my clothes get snagged on the branches and pull the fibers apart. if i get too distracted i forget which way i was going. i got lost again and just stood here for a while, unsure where to go or what to do because im so tired. recently though i've found a rope and will tie it to a tree, so i can remember where i at least came from. how long is this metaphor? i hear "you will come to regret your inaction the most" while im elbow deep in a side quest. things are feeling brighter. they feel more real. i got a kitten who looks like my late childhood cat. she is so very soft spoken and delicate. she reminds me to persevere. <3
