Acknowledge and accept that there will be chaotic times while being on your raft from being lost in true freedom. Engulfed by darkness at sea, we are consumed by a great loneliness that has consistently existed even when people surrounded us, and that is when we must throw all that is heavy into the water, and float independently through to the present. Forrest Curran
About This Quote

It is true that some of us may be drowning in the darkness while someone else, whom we do not even know, has already found his or her freedom on the other side. But if we are to survive, we must acknowledge this fact and accept it, so that we can get out of the darkness. If we do not acknowledge the darkness, it will continue to engulf us and drag us down into its depths. Sometime it is better to accept the fact that you are drowning than to struggle against it.
