As we travel through life, we are surrounded by a powerful light that illuminates our path, giving us the grit and resilience to surmount any obstacle and pursue our dreams. This light is a radiant energy that fills us with a sense of purpose and inspires us to persevere toward our aspirations. However, have you ever taken the time to contemplate the source of this light? Is it an emanation of our innermost radiance, or is it a divine gift bestowed upon us by a higher power? Examining the origin of this light can offer valuable insight into our life's purpose and help us establish a connection with our true selves. When we stand in the sunlight or any other illumination source, the light casts a shadow on our physical form. This Shadow is not merely an outline but a reflection of our deepest thoughts and desires, which we keep hidden from the world. It reveals our imperfections, vulnerabilities, and flaws and exposes our true selves to illustrate what a shadow is. The Shadow is the innermost part of what we hide from ourselves: our pain, sadness, and inability to be optimistic or see life's bright side. Acknowledging this Shadow or the possibility that a shadow exists shows you are ready for a change. We can better understand our true selves and unlock our full potential. Recognizing and accepting our imperfections is fundamental to our growth and development, learning from our past and enabling us to become the most authentic version of ourselves and shine as the person we are and aspire to be by seeing our pain as not your guilt but the aggression of your abuser. When we stand in the Shadow of ourselves, we enter a space of profound perplexity that gives us a glimpse of our deepest fears and insecurities. It is a space where we can escape the constant demands of daily life, release ourselves from the burden of responsibilities and obligations, and reflect on our thoughts and emotions. Yet it is a hidden place where the love you thought you had lived on forever. The feelings of love as we thought it would be intertwined with the devastation of abuse and harsh endings.
