You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star - Nietzsche
"Go to the deepest darkest place you can let yourself 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 a thing by the name of resilience. What I really didn't know was that the light was actually joy. How could joy exist in this amazingly dark moment? How could joy be present in this awful and horrible time?
I remember how it felt in that moment. Everything was absolutely black. The darkest black you could even imagine. If you have ever seen a black table that has been lacquered many thousands of times, the depths appear never-ending. This situation and time in my life was this sort of black which was as thick is molasses.
However, there somehow was light. The sole issue was, I wasn't looking for it.
It's not going to be easy for me to come back to this place. There are lots of things that I have buried deep so nobody could ever find them. Thing is, I knew they were there. They have always been there the entire time. I truly have been so afraid to let them bubble up that I honestly have put on my shoes and run from my past directly into the future and have utterly forgotten about the present. That's no way to live life. That isn't 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 really are and not just how your shocked mind has translated them to be. So I'm going to be bringing that light in.
Into the depths we travel.
