Dancing with the Darkness

I’ve been meaning to write but I haven’t known what to say.I feel like if I’m going to pop into your inbox I need to be lighthearted and inspiring.But what if I don’t feel inspiring...I’ve prided myself on being a lighthouse, a beacon of light for those in need.But what if I want to be the darkness in the night instead?Will you still want to hear from me?Growth. Evolving. Transformation.Healing our deepest wounds.This journey is not easy.It’s often uncomfortable and messy.Exhausting.The daily battle within.The battle between the light and the dark.The old and the new.Not knowing.But knowing.The ego holding on for dear life as the layers of false identities fall away.Making room for the new to emerge.The more we control it.The harder it becomes.But the truth is,We don’t have to choose.The light and the dark can coexist.They must both exist.We must love our shadow side as much as our light, if not more.The yin and the yang.The feminine and masculine.You can’t have one without the other.Just like the moon and the sun must dance in the sky.Night after night. Day after day.They each have their purpose.This is my invitation to you to embrace wherever you are,JUST AS YOU ARE.Without needing to wear a mask or dim down your feelings.If you want to be the light, be the light.If you want to be the darkness, be the darkness.

Be whatever the fuck you want to be.

The world wants to see the real you.And so do I.

xo,
