Burn Ban
In this land, there are endless forests. When colonisers came, they thought "Wow, what a beautiful natural state! Full of resources and useful," and over time that evolved from conservatin to preservation, from "Protect nature for future generations!" to "We must preserve it for it's inherent value!"
But what they failed to recognize is that the forests of Appalachia, the forests of California, of Ottawa, of Boreal design... none of them are just *like* that. It's by design. The people who have been here forever took care of them in the same way they always have:
They burned. Burning is important. Without intentional burning, wildfires start and do far more destruction.
Burning is setting the ground for new growth. It's clearing away the deadfall and risky buildup of broken limbs. It's allowing things to become fertilizer for a bright future. And you, Reader, may be ready to burn the years spent in relationships that do not serve you, but I guarantee you, you will thank yourself for it. You'll thank yourself for learning what you did, and for setting fire to it now, watching the flames eat away at that which must be cleared in order for you to succeed and grow. Because without your courage to do it, that fire would've started anyway. And instead of burning two or three or five or ten years, it would have devastated far, far more of your life.
So burn away, dear Reader. Set fire to the past. It's not wasted, only fuel. Make way for a stronger internal ecosystem, one that has cleared the hazards and knows the risks and stands strong, with fertile land for future growth; you are not a tree, my dear. You're a whole damn forest. Burn down the years, and remember that they are not time wasted. That Time is simply the tool to finding something better.
