The Girl Under the Rug: Short Story for Spiritual Seekers
Introduction
The Girl Under the Rug is a short story depicting the journey through the dark night of the soul, towards transcendence and self-realization. It is about awakening from pain, darkness, and fear, into the timeless recognition of love and freedom.
The story arose in my mind three years ago, and helped me navigate and see past the ego-mind, and return to peace.
For this reason, the beginning starts off bleak, full of personal identity, and wrapped up in stories of the past. However, you will notice as you read that the mood, energy, symbolism, and imagery shift as the protagonist chooses to be guided by grace.
May these words help you see beyond any hardships and emotional and mental turmoil you experience, so, you recognize your true self, which is forever free and effortlessly peaceful.

It Makes no Difference to Me
Judge me or ridicule me.
It makes no difference to me.
I am free.
Free to experience shame.
Free to experience fear.
And free to experience pain.
But, it makes no difference to me

I have always known you.

The Friends in my Head: Short Story
A Short Story About Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia
A few nights ago, I could not sleep and started writing this short story about the friends in my head; Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia and ADHD. With mindfulness, meditation, and self-inquiry, my perspective about mental illness has shifted, and I can now make light out of my experience.
In truth, I wrote this story from a carefree place, and if you read it with a serious tone, you may miss the intended sarcasm and irony. I hope it makes you laugh and gives you hope, but if it makes you cry, know that you are not alone. Either way, please let me know in the comments if you can relate to this story.
My hope is that those who are struggling with anxiety and depression will become aware that there is a way to be free despite the inner turmoil.
You can find peace even if mental illness walks with you. I know this because it walks with me and I have learned that it is okay. You can read my bio here.
Emotions and mental states are constantly changing, but peace is available in every moment, for everyone.
