So you know how your mind is a fortress? And you spend all this effort building up all these awesome walls and making extra sure that no one can sneak past your defenses?

Funny thing about fortresses. Is that they keep things in as well as out. Things like emotional waste that you should really find healthier ways to manage than just letting it pile up inside your awesome mind walls.

And another funny thing about fortresses. Is that sometimes the things they keep out are like, emotional or mental nourishment. And you start running low on food rations, and you’re all safe and starving inside your awesomely strong towers.

If you’re smart, you knew to make sure that your towers had no doors so that they were super safe. Then again, if you had doors you could go in and out when you wanted… Now you’re kind of stuck inside.

And let’s not forget, that even if you built your fortress incredibly well, giant floods of misery could always come and seep in, slowly drowning you within your own walls. Or just sweeping them away like sand. Then you’ve got to collect up all those bricks and stones and rebuild your fortress all over again. Completely vulnerable in the mean time.

So yeah… fortresses. They’ve got some important factors to consider. Doors. Waste management. Proper misery drainage. It sucks when your mind walls get messed up or worn down. Just go innovating some new systems to keep your mental defenses as peak as possible.
