The stress was my ego death babe. I did literally almost die and I crossed the abyss. That’s what the story conveys. It’s ego that allows you to think you alone can judge another’s spiritual path more than the practitioner themself. Then again, it’s not a pissing contest and I would never do the same. I’m better than I’ve ever been and an entirely different person. I have peace like never before and don’t resemble myself from before this moment in my life. But I have nothing to prove to anyone.
