Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

i love it when a woman slowly steps out of survival mode and starts to fall in love with life again. when her zest for life comes back and when she starts to notice all the magic and blessings around her, it’s the most beautiful thing to witness.

This is a very typical hippie/protestant understanding. There's *everything* spiritual about putting your faith into physical, tangible, embodied practice, which is the meaning of religion.
No ... it's not. If you born in Iran, you'd be telling me how "spiritual" the Islamic religion is. If you were born in India, Hinduism is what you'd gleefully espouse. If you were born in the Pre-Olympian Bronze Age, Poseidon would have probably given you a great life's insight.
But, you were born in the modern West, and inherited your Westerly-dominated faith, so it's the "Christian spiritualism" sort that really tickles your fancy. There's definitely someone with "hippie" aspirations in this equation, but I can assure you, it's not me.
