"You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star." - Nietzsche
Take a second to go into the deepest darkest moment of your life. Now...can you see that little light up in the top right corner?
That little light...is joy. But how could joy exist in such moments? For most of my life, I never really understood this idea. I thought that this little light in the presence of overwhelming darkness was my resilience or something more strength oriented. But what I realized is that no matter how bad things get, our own light is the thing that can keep us going.
I remember going back to those dark moments and feeling all of the old emotions. Everything was horrendously black. The room was dark and everything felt cold. I couldn't imagine the possibility of light existing because everything felt about as bad as it could ever get.
That light was always there, I just wasn't looking for it back then.
Every single time you go back to these moments and places it will be incredibly difficult. Those secrets have been buried deep for such a long time and you have been so scared to let other people know about them. But eventually, those moments will bubble up to the surface if you don't take care of them when you need to. However, you shouldn't have to live scared. So dive in you must.
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.
