I Am Light. But Also Dark.

For me to pretend like my darkness does not exist, would mean to reject parts of myself. I will always be both light and dark. There is no point in pretending I am only light. That would make me an actor.

Instead I very consciously try to lean more towards my light, without rejecting my darkness. At times I fail. At times I become my shadow. All this does is shine a light on my humanness. I accept that I am human.

If somebody chooses to poke and prod at my shadowy self, I choose to see it for what it is. I don't turn away from my triggers, I prefer to face them head on. That way I can resolve whatever is going on underneath the hood.

I am human, just like you.

You are uniquely you; and I cannot even pretend to know and fully understand you. As such, always remember only take whatever is useful from my ramblings and leave the rest at the door.

I do, however, wish to express just how much I enjoy sharing my ramblings with you. I always have. I always will. My thought is that the true beauty in life can be found when we lean into whatever it is that makes our heart sing. This is what makes my heart sing.

No matter who you are. Whether or not you accept me exactly as I am... I wish you many blessings today, tomorrow and always. May you always feel loved, happy and at peace ❤

I am light. But also dark.

I can pretend like my dark does not exist.

I can detach from my dark and become an actor.

But then might my darkness fester and rot inside of me?

Might a high beam get caught on my shadowy self?

Our humanness embraced is the true blessing.

We will always be both light and dark.

We are unique. We are human.

We are beautiful.

Self-love.
