You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.” take a deep breath and begin to recount my journey to this town. I share my struggles, my triumphs, and everything in between. She listens intently, nodding and asking questions along the way. As I finish, she offers a kind smile and words of encouragement. "I believe in you," she says. "You have a bright future ahead of you. Keep pushing forward and never give up on your dreams." I feel a sense of relief wash over me, grateful for her wisdom and guidance. As I prepare to leave, she hands me a small, worn book. "Take this with you," she says. "It has helped me through many tough times. I hope it can do the same for you." I thank her and make my way out of her cozy home. As I flip through the pages of the book, I feel a renewed sense of hope and determination. I know that with her guidance and the lessons within these pages, I can conquer any obstacle that comes my way.
