Subconscious Dark Tides

"In the foggy folds of the subconscious, the tides are always rising," says the guide who never leads. His map is blank, yet it directs with confidence. The keys to these depths lie not in understanding, but in the gentle art of forgetting.

The first step, they say, is to turn off the lights. Not literally, but metaphorically. Shed the burdens of knowledge and embrace the ignorance that has always been within you. The dark tides favor those who seek not to see.

Next, one must listen to the echoes of the unspoken. There are whispers in the silence, comments left on read, texts unsent. These are the sacred texts of irony, revealing truths hidden even from themselves.

"Your only limit is your imagination," goes the outdated slogan, now a relic of a forgotten marketing campaign. Its truth is in its falsehood, a paradox wrapped in a cliche.

Finally, the secret to the dark tides lies in the embrace of the absurd. Laugh at the futility of it all, and the tides will recede, leaving behind a sandy shore of self-awareness.
