Getting taken from home and put into an institution at twelve was no jackpot, that's for sure, though it definitely opened my eyes in a lot of ways. I hated every minute of it while it was happening, but looking back, it was probably what needed to happen. I came out the other end when I was eighteen, so right around that Jupiter opposite Jupiter time, I guess. The second half of that cycle was a lot better, honestly that's when I had my spiritual awakening and really found my faith in life again.
By twenty four, I had my own place after staying with my grandparents for a bit, and not long after hat I got into bhakti yoga and started learning about Vaishnavism. More experiences that really stretched my world, you know. I'm thirty now, so we'll just have to see what the next return might have in store.
