Darkness

We tend to classify things, people, experiences, emotions... as good or bad...⠀

⠀

Especially once on a "spiritual path" we try to stay away from negativity, convincing ourselves and others that we are supposed to be positive, optimistic, kind, generous...⠀

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a kind, positive human being. ⠀

But...⠀

If we still have some darkness or trauma hidden underneath, our butterfly positivity won't be genuine.⠀

⠀

Dance with your demons and make them your servants, instead of the other way around.⠀

Recognising the pain and trauma we experienced in life gives us opportunity to feel it and eventually let go of it.⠀

⠀

It's ok to be hurt.⠀

It's ok to feel broken.⠀

It's ok to crawl into fetal position and cry your eyes out.⠀

⠀

But don't use it as a form of manipulation and getting attention from others. ⠀

Use it to release those past hurts, to forgive - yourself and others, to move forward, even one tiny step in the direction of healing and self love.❤️⠀

⠀

The more you truly love yourself, the more your darkness turns into light.✨⠀
