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 believed that light was something 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 horrid and horrible time?
I can recollect how it felt during that moment. Everything was pitch black. The darkest black you could even imagine. If you have ever seen a black table that has been lacquered several thousand times, the depths appear never-ending. This situation and time in my life was this type of black which was as thick is molasses.
However, there somehow was light. The only real issue was, I wasn't attempting to find it.
It isn't going to be that easy for me to go back to this place. There are numerous things that I have buried deep so nobody could ever find them. Thing is, I knew they were there. They have been there the entire time. I have been so frightened to let them bubble up that I've actually run from my past straight into the future and have completely forgotten about the present. That's no way to live life. That's not how my life will be lived from this time 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 interpreted them to be. So I'm bringing that light in.
Into the depths we dive.
