I've noticed something over the past few years - people who refuse to look at their darkness, who run from it, who pretend it doesn't exist, they always end up controlled by it anyway. Meanwhile the ones who sit with their void, who actually stare into that abyss everyone warns you about, they're the ones who somehow generate their own light. Not borrowed light, not fake positivity, but something real that comes from having seen the worst and deciding to create anyway
