This was an interesting article to read, thank you for writing it. I have found myself as all have at any given points in our lives for fear to be with us. I once told my dad, that it was necessary for me in a moments time that I must be weak. He said, “Shannon, you are the strongest one in our family….” I could no longer hold the weight of the world on my shoulders for if so I felt like I was going further down into the ground that I ‘feared’ I would not be able to preserve myself if I continued on as such.

I went from strong to weak in an instance and suddenly everything about me felt light as a feather, no longer stiff as a board. Overtime though somehow that board comes and goes to stiffen up but the duration of time in between how I go from a feather to a board varies in time as I keep working on the evolution of myself all the while working on self preservation for I understand I am my own species that will one day soon become extinct in this world. ~ Shannon Snow White
