  A year ago my girlfriend died, with whom I have been together for 6 years since I was 15. It was in a traffic accident, I was with her and I survived, they were the most difficult days of my entire life, on many occasions I thought I had lost my head. Today, at 23, I am coming out of a deep hole, meeting new people, making friends and acquiring new knowledge, letting go of my beloved to rest in peace for all eternity. I'm not going to lie, I still miss her and think about her every day, because I consider her my soul mate. Being able to reach this work of art gives me so much peace and hope for a better present. God bless you.

  The path to enlightenment is not an easy path. You'll feel much pain along the way. This is impermanent and will not last forever. After the dark night of the soul always comes the dawn light of the awakening. If you choose to take this path, there is no turning back. Keep going my fellow travellers, we are all on our own journey back to our true selves and oneness with everything! 7\

  When the night is at its coldest, a million little lives twinkle back at me. My handprint draws itself, an outline on the frosted glass. A cosmos of lights speak to me from the urban sea. They whisper about hot soup, about shared blankets draped across warm friends. They tell me we are alive together, and it is beautiful tonight.

  Was going to use this looped track for studying but the feeling of writing a certain story has come to the surface. This sort of etherial sound has made me reflect on some things in life. A recent life changing event, in which involved a motorcycle accident. Remembering laying on the ground, ambulance approaching, shutdown highway, etc. <br><br>I show up to the ER and remember thinking I must be in some bad shape watching how fast these people were moving. As I’m already on a cocktail of meds and whatever else I’m being prepped for an emergency surgery, as that’s happening I was told I’d be administered ketamine. This profound feeling came over me where I realized how serious this whole situation may be, the last bit of memory I had in that operating room was knowing I was going under as the ketamine was being introduced. <br><br>That’s when everything changed, it was the beginning of a new beginning. I wouldn’t want to associate the entire journey of life after that accident to a controlled dosing of ketamine but the journey it took me on over the course of the surgery really changed my life for years to come. <br><br>Once I went under I felt a sensation of floating, or more of an out of body experience where I frantically realized I could see myself in third person. From that moment I started getting further away as if I’m leaving the operating room, and shooting up towards the sky. <br><br>All colors transitioned from the blue sky to the blue aura of the edge of the earth, to the darkness of space. If the story couldn’t get any more odd, I find myself approaching this big white rectangle as if it was a window to leaving this dimension. As I approach the white space it slowly became a white infinity. <br><br>Somehow I felt like I was still in the operating room but also knew I wasn&apos;t there, I knew what I was experiencing was something that would change me forever, the time I was able to spend up there or away from earth if you will felt like a complete hard reset. As I was floating in this white space I ask “where am I?” and out from every corner of this infinity I heard a voice that said “(my name) you’re going to be okay, you just have to go back.” <br><br>Before I could say anymore or enjoy this feeling of immense tranquility, I felt this breeze as it was enough to push and send me back down to where I could remember coming from. <br><br>The immense peace I was experiencing was single handedly the most beautiful thing I have ever felt, the floating in emptiness, the calmness of the white space, the immense comfort I was feeling was so beautiful I truly truly felt at peace, but I knew I wasn&apos;t able to stay.<br><br>Watching myself leave this white infinity, back through the darkness of space, into the blue aura of the atmosphere, I fall so effortlessly back to where I belong to finish my life on this earth. <br><br>Returning to the promise I made myself of implementing the changes that would bring out a better me, a happier me, a more self supporting me, a personality that will grow the love for myself that I never had, one where I could share the same love to those who are traversing the same path. <br><br>A change in mentality that can conquer the challenges of life with no option of quitting. I needed this ironically, crazy to say it but I guess I needed this to happen. <br><br>At the age of 20 it changed my life so heavily that I never would&apos;ve thought of seeing myself live life this way, thinking these things, finding effective ways of fixing my mental health, finding ways to fix the heart I always tried to fill up with temporary impulsive happiness. <br><br>With the support of my family and friends I would have never achieved the amount of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual progress I was forced to make. <br><br>I still can&apos;t believe it some days. I hate that I got on the motorcycle that day, but I needed it. <br><br>I needed to love the fact that I disregarded my life. Always pushed my limits. Always wanted everything done or experienced yesterday. <br><br>Hitting a concrete wall at 70 mph humbles you I like to say and I know some who ride might think 70 mph isn&apos;t much, but it was for me. My stupidity led me to a great change and I needed to be the person I was to reach the mental clarity I am at now and I will continue to grow my understanding of why and how the person I was will still lead me on my journey of understanding who I am today. <br><br>I am grateful for my life now, I see why I exist, I see why my life should matter to me, I have learned to love myself, growing that love through the interactions I have with many people from all walks of life. I believe that the beauty of earth guides me, it’s a reminder as to how blessed we are to wake up another day. <br><br>The beauty of this life guides me. It keeps me hopeful. When I see the wind blow through the trees, or a beautiful sunset I feel that peace again. It feels like my soul brought something back with it, I feel like I am more than what I am as I physically exist on this earth, my purpose extends beyond my physical form, my purpose is to love and cherish this life I have been given with its second chances, my purpose is to show everyone I encounter the love and respect I have to give from my heart, everything means something to me now, a word, a hand gesture, a laugh, a smile, a head nod, a hello, a goodbye, a handshake, a helping hand, an opportunity to give, an opportunity to receive, I have come to a point where I realize this life is all i have ever wanted and nothing more or nothing less.<br><br>I&apos;m thankful for life, and I&apos;m thankful for all the people I will meet or have met in my life, hope this message reaches you well.

  About 2 years ago, I had to take care of my dying father for about 2 months. I watched his body wither away and remind me of the fragility of this life. He took no pain pills or even really wanted doctors around. Just me, my little brother and sister taking care of him. Trying to help usher him to the other side and show him the love we have for him. This song brings me to that time in such a visceral way. I can&apos;t describe the tangible pain in the air each and every day of attempting to be a good son. So much pain. And I sit here, in awe of it. Thanks to this music I have a way of processing this pain without having to use words that just don&apos;t hack it. The complete relief of death is not something ever discussed, but it should be. We all need to be in awe of death, not in fear. There is nothing to fear. I just miss him. And this song makes me feel closer to him. Thank you.

  this is draining the hatred and anger out of me, all the spite and bitterness is useless when peace feels so beautiful

  I was going up to the hill, but I went down and fell asleep. I still dreaming, but I hope I wake up one day and see how beautiful the world is. Thank you!

  Crazy how we are all listening to this at different points in our life spans, all in different mindsets, in different locations, all on Earth, ( well shit I think so anyway )
