When I was a teenager watching what I think was the MTV American Music Awards, the singer "Coolio", after winning and award said the following quote "If you want to see the light you have to know the darkness". At the time it stuck in my mind and little did I know that one day it would really really hit me. And not only would it really hit me, one day I would totally 'get it'.
In order to see the good things in life, we often have to see the bad. We often have to experience the lowest of lows and the darkest of days in order to be able to see the light.
Whilst I have been blessed with a beautiful life. One with little loss of loved ones, and no real horrible events I have also hit rock bottom with depression and anxiety. I have seen the darkness. I have never been quite suicidal but I have gotten to the point where I have felt so lost and wondered what the purpose of life was. Luckily when I reached this point I sought professional help. This helped me immensely but life held further lessons for me to learn before the darkness finally cleared.
I believe life is one big lesson and along the ways some lessons aren't as good as others. The lessons some people learn are harsher than others and unfortunately some lessons are downright horrible. Some people are never able to leave that bubble of darkness which is just too too sad and breaks my heart.
But dear souls I need to tell you that the darkness can be lifted. It is possible. It might take alot of work and it won't happen straight away but rest assured if you seek, If you manage to hold that hope and faith in your heart and in your dreams , you will find the light. It may not be now, it may not be in 12 months but it is there. It takes all of your heart and soul, and a lot of dedication on your part to make it happen but...... it can.
If you stick with me through this I will try and tell a story and show you how that light can be so incredible, so magical that the darkness will seem like it never existed.
With deepest blessings
xoxo
