Walking Through the Dark Tunnel

September 26, 2025

What a journey it’s been. I’m realizing now that my intuition was never wrong, it was my trust in myself that was broken. For years I second-guessed, bent myself into expectations, carried wounds that weighed me down.

These days, I still catch myself doing shadow work, noticing those subtle places where I might shrink or adapt, but I face them head-on. It’s not an easy road, it feels like walking through a dark tunnel lined with thorns, with only the occasional rose. But faith keeps me moving, because I know there’s light on the other side.

The deeper I go, the more I see: I can’t compromise on values that matter to me. Communication is still a work in progress, but it’s getting better because as I understand myself, I also understand others. And while it hurts to outgrow people I once held close, authenticity leaves no room for compromise.

I welcome change. I welcome the battle to stand in my truth, even if it means standing alone.
