I’ve come to realize that I have been scratching too much, experiencing discomfort and even pain with the changing weather. I have yet to find a solution and must accept the situation. It’s similar to how I struggle to come up with a topic, scratching my head and racking my brain, only to be unable to find a resolution. In different times and locations, there will always be elements that are beyond our control. In such instances, we choose to follow, accept, and allow them to become the marks and records of our experiences. These marks serve as a map, representing the entirety of our lives in a single picture.
