These three blog posts collectively trace a journey of disorientation and rebuilding after a period of intense, perhaps unsustainable, activity. Meesh explores the grief of a lost identity – not a romantic heartbreak, but the dissolving of a core sense of self shaped by ambition and external validation. He initially attempts to fill the void with frantic activity and performance, only to discover that this approach leaves him feeling more lost than ever. The turning point comes with recognizing the shift in his brain’s function, revealing a newfound capacity for creative expression and a more grounded, accepting approach to self-discovery. The posts ultimately reveal a quiet acceptance of change and a resilience born not from relentless striving, but from recognizing and adapting to a fundamentally altered landscape.
