Light of Mine
Mental Health
Lynn Taylor
Sage is a single mother who is struggling to make ends meet and provide a fruitful life for her small family. Seemingly trapped between every curveball life launches in her direction and an underwhelming career that barely allows her to scrape by, she constantly battles the chaos within her mind in what feels like an endless internal struggle for tranquility. Every day is a fight to wear a brave face around everyone she refuses to allow into her life in a desperate attempt to shroud the depression that sits on the periphery of her consciousness.
When another disastrous pitfall arises, a kindhearted woman enters Sage’s life, turning everything upside down and challenging her mindset of isolationism. Sage begins to question who she is and what she believes in as her reservations about others, and life in general, begins to crumble. Things only get more convoluted when she searches for answers in a place she expects comradery and support, but is only met with hostility and disdain. She reaches the precipice of emotional ruin after being rejected by several religious institutions and can only lean back on her newest friendships.
Sage is forced to examine her past hardships that drove her into her current existence and if she has the willpower to shift her outlook. The longer she dwells on these deep dives of self-reflection the more she ponders her overall perseverance to find happiness and inner peace. She begins to wonder if happiness is even a possible outcome for herself. Can Sage incorporate these lessons into her daily paradigm, or will life’s everyday challenges prove insurmountable, crushing her determination, and ultimately becoming consumed by the constant barrage of modern-day life?
