I M trusting the fire to take everything fake before it ever reaches the real.

Wisdom

The furnace burns the counterfeit first: the false friends, the borrowed confidence, the image you were propping up. What is left when the heat dies down was always the only real thing you had. Pressure is expensive, but it is an honest editor.

Carry It

Notice one thing a hard season already burned away from your life, and thank the fire for the deletion.

Ask Yourself

What did the last hard season burn off that you are secretly relieved is gone?
