The journey begins again

I have discovered that I am headed back into my old inferno; The bow of my spirit is on a collision course with a mighty storm and a rocky shoal, and the rudder has seized.

Since I've recognized the beginning of my downward spiral, I've decided to chronicle my descent into darkness, and my resurrected joy when I emerge on the other side, wounded and scarred, but intact. I know I will emerge because I have before. The dark night of the soul, though filled with despair and blindness, is not never-ending. I shall cling to that knowledge, for it will allow me to survive.
