light and dark
we’re told to be the light. the light is good.
sometimes the light is what everyone tells us we’re supposed to be and do. and the dark is all the things we’re not supposed to be. there are so many roles we are supposed to play. so many needs we are supposed to meet. so many ways we are supposed to look.
but sometimes the dark leads to a new kind of light that we never expected. and that light feels like magic. like a gift. because we weren’t trying so hard for it. and it is sometimes better than we ever expected.
embrace the dark. embrace the part of you that doesn’t want to conform. doesn’t want to be what everyone thinks you should be. it will lead to the truest light that shines brightly in this world.
