"You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star." - Nietzsche
Take a moment, a single moment to return back to an incredibly hard moment in your life. Can you see a little light up in the corner?
There it is...joy. But how could joy possibly exist in such a horrible moment? How could joy not be completely snuffed out by all of the darkness in that time? For a long time in my own life, I didn't understand this idea. For a long time I thought it was the presence of resilience or something else. But what I realized as that my joy could never be snuffed out, and even in the darkest of times, I could illuminate the world.
I remember going back to some of these horrible moments and feeling everything that was there at that time. The cold room. The darkness of the space. The feeling that I was sinking into a never-ending darkness that would consume me forever. There was no way I could have possibly felt any worse.
And yet, there was light always there. The only thing about it was that I wasn't looking for it.
It is not going to be simple for me to return 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've been there the entire time. I have been so scared 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 is not how my life will be lived from this time on.
The only difference between going to these places on your own and having them surprise you in life is the amount of light you bring to a situation. When you head straight into your deepest fears, you bring a bright light with you and illuminate situations that have hurt you in the past.
So we have to dive into the depths to discover who we truly are.
We must be the light.
