For many of us, it looks like drinking to numb our feelings, eating for comfort, binge-watching Netflix to forget.
there is something deeper that needs to be tended to. It is this deeper need that leaves me vulnerable to overeating, depression, and all those other brutal human emotions. I have the time to examine these pain points in me, these samskaras I have tried to heal with something outside of me.
