Stage II
VIATICUM
You can't go into the desert with empty hands. VIATICUM is an honest inventory: who and what fills you, and who drains your energy without a trace. No excuses. No 'but he's a good guy.'
This is the stage where you stop being 'comfortable.' Where you learn to notice the difference between the fatigue after something important and the emptiness after someone who steals your time and energy.
Here you don't look for the guilty. You gather a map of your resources. To know: where to go, and where not to step.
