Have you ever needed the darkness....

Just to find the light in life?

It isn't pretty or fun by any means, and can be quite terrifying, but I've learned more about myself and found a greater appreciation for life from times of darkness than any amount of light ever offered.

I love certain aspects of darkness. The anonymity, the comfort as the darkness closes around you, hidden away even from your own self, your own thoughts. Sometimes I yearn for the darkness.

@RuyLopez You have a very interesting take on this. It sounds a lot like me with my need for silent contemplation. A place where I go to sit with my thoughts and problems; immersing myself in the discomfort in order to grow. Much like [b]deep[/b] self reflection.....

All is pretty much open to interpretation, but my take for this post came from the times of despair and emptiness. The times I didn't think I could go on, but it all ended up molding me into a stronger person, thus the light ✨

Thank you for sharing your take.😉

@MoonlightLullaby Yes, I was thinking more of the isolation, the turning in with only your own thoughts, coming to terms with your own demons.

@RuyLopez That's exactly what I do with total silence. Both of us are still expressing the same thing... slightly different perceptions, but we're all multifaceted in thinking.

No matter the discomfort, it's pertinent and healthy. So many choose to ignore their demons, and some don't even realize we all possess dark and light . I refuse to stay stagnant. I'd rather face it all, let it humble me and increase my growth.🌷

Kudos to you for trying to do the same🤗

@MoonlightLullaby Sometimes I feel most comfortable surrounded by my demons. I know them well. No surprises.

@RuyLopez Do they have names?😏









Just kidding 😉

@MoonlightLullaby They are not to be spoken out loud..... 🙊 Unless we have had several strong drinks. 😏
