Citrinitas

What the tradition asks

Dawn is not noon. Write the first light down, do not teach it yet, and test it against what it explains worst.

Citrinitas

Educational and historical, not medical advice. If you are struggling, contact a licensed professional or a crisis line in your country (findahelpline.com).
