I know my dark side makes people uncomfortable.

I appreciate when people promote positivity but not as a way to combat negativity. Those two feelings are not at war. They are yin and yang.

I’m having a busy morning but saw this and thought of your post. Will have more to comment on later.

@SageWanderer I love this because it's so true. I would have loved to turn a blind eye to it but I simply could not. Now I'm grateful for it 🖤

@ScreamingFox Thanks for the Best Comment. I found my direction in the darkness as the platitudes that people offered me rang hollow. They are easy to say but unless one experienced what I did they are only words with no meaning.

I hear that.

A lot of people are often shocked to hear what comes out of my mouth when I have reached the stages of angry where I'm ready to get some retribution.

If only they knew what my thoughts were that I don't say.

@FoxyQueen yeah I don't think everyone knows the depths possible because it frightens them. Anger and rage are something I hold space for because often they're secondary to other things that didn't get the space they deserved. There's a lot to be learned in the dark but most love to label it bad to avoid a lot of truths they don't have the courage to face.

Give me darkness any time. We are old friends.
