Down the Rabbit Hole | Madness Monday

May 4th is the actual day Lewis Carroll set Alice's adventure. It's the day she followed the rabbit, fell through the dark rabbit hole, and landed somewhere that made absolutely no sense. It's the day everything changed, not because the world got easier, but because she had no choice but to find out who she really was.

Here's what most people miss about that story. Alice didn't go to Wonderland to have fun. She went through confusion, chaos, and creatures that challenged everything she thought she knew. She met the Queen of Hearts, all rage and power and "off with their heads," the part of us that lashes out when we feel out of control. She sat with the Mad Hatter, wild and creative and a little unhinged, the part of us that's been dismissed as too much. She faced the Jabberwocky, this enormous terrifying thing that everyone said couldn't be defeated, and every voice around her, including her own, said she wasn't the one to do it. But she was the only one who could.

That's not a fairy tale detail. That's the whole point. The dragon you're most convinced you cannot face? It has your name on it. Not because life is cruel, but because you are the only one built exactly right to slay it. Your Queen of Hearts, your madness, your creativity, your fear, none of it is a flaw in the story. It IS the story.

Alice didn't find herself by staying on the surface. She found herself by going within, through every uncomfortable, disorienting, shape-shifting layer of Wonderland, and coming out the other side knowing who she is and what she is capable of.

That's the work.

You ARE the main character. Live like it.
