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 was under the impression that light was something called resilience. What I really didn't know was that the light was in fact joy. How could joy exist in this incredibly dark moment? How could joy be present in this horrid and horrible time?
I can recollect how it felt in that bad moment. Everything was pitch black. The darkest black you might even imagine. If you have ever seen a black table that has been lacquered thousands of times, the depths appear endless. 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 lots of things that I have buried deep so nobody could ever find them. Thing is, I knew they were there. They've been there the entire time. I truly have been so frightened to let them bubble up that I honestly have basically run from my past right into the future and have completely 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 begin to see things as they really are and not just how your shocked mind has interpreted them to be. So I'm going to be bringing that light in.
Into the depths we go.
