My fifteen year old has discovered Dead Poets Society, a movie Buzzfeed guarantees will make you “ugly cry.” They’re not wrong – it’s a tear-jerker about growing up. Between the movie and the new page I put up on the website about coming of age ceremonies, it got me thinking about my own teenage years and the difficulties I had.
It got me thinking about the ways in which I got over those difficulties, and the ways I found healing. I tell the story of one of those ways in the video below.
Rituals should be easy. They should be doable. They should be helpful. Dragging around your past (or even just the argument you had the night before) doesn’t help anyone, least of all you.
Head to the beach and let the water take your troubled past.
