-<del>I won't elaborate much on each location (i.e. won't give each location its own page) because I don't think it would be very useful to my healing process. I //could,// but each specific location is a metaphor, and the usefulness of each metaphor is transient. If there are places in there where I don't go anymore, it's probably because nothing remains to be gained from going there, and if I focus too intently on places that no longer serve a purpose, my [[headmates:start]] could get [[:redshift#tethering|stuck]] there.</del>
