With all future dreams lost, inability to find employment and impending poverty, coupled with the loss of connection to the world around him. Steven spiraled into anxiety, panic attacks, and self-destructive behaviors. The dark night of the soul does offer a light at the end of the tunnel, however, and it is this that Steven is offering whoever chooses to share this journey through his eyes.
The Two Paths offers a humorous yet profound look at struggle and how all of life has patterns. We all go on our own unanticipated journeys in some way or another. That said, all of life is happening for our true benefit.

We just have to learn a new way to see.
