You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star - Nietzsche
"Go to the deepest darkest place you can allow yourself to be and see if you can find a little light up in the top right corner?"
Yes, I saw that little light. For years, I thought that light was something by the name of resilience. What I really didn't know was that the light was really joy. How could joy exist in this amazingly dark moment? How could joy be present in this horrid and awful time?
I remember how it felt during that moment. Everything was pitch black. The darkest black you might even imagine. If you have ever seen a black table that has been lacquered several thousand times, the depths appear endless. This situation and time in my life was this sort of black and it really was as thick is molasses.
However, there somehow was light. The sole issue was, I wasn't attempting to find it.
It's not going to be simple for me to come back to this place. There are numerous things that I have buried deep so absolutely no one could ever find them. Thing is, I knew they were there. They've been there all the time. I have been so frightened to let them bubble up that I honestly have actually run from my past directly into the future and have utterly forgotten about the present. That is no way to live life. That's not how my life will be lived from this point on.
This place, while dark, can be illuminated. Like all dark places, bring a bright enough lantern into it and you can really start to see things as they actually are and not just how your scared mind has created them to be. So I'm bringing that light in.
Into the depths we dive.
