Wait, hang on—why would I want to know my dark side? Do I even have one?
If you keep getting triggered by the same things, over and over again, there’s a wound there. The “dark side” isn’t some evil part of us—it’s where we store pain, the wounds we’ve accepted as part of our fabric. But they don’t have to stay that way.
Healing begins when we understand. When we stop running from the black box inside us and start opening it, we begin to see patterns. We recognize what triggers us, what brings us joy, what inspires us. That box isn’t a void—it’s a map.
Artists pour their pain into their work because some wounds can’t be fully expressed in words. But whether through art, writing, movement, or simply sitting with our thoughts, expression helps us navigate. The goal isn’t to eliminate pain—it’s to understand it, to ride with it, to tell the demons, I got this.
Healing isn’t a destination. It’s a daily practice, a quiet choice to stay present. The black box isn’t something to fear—it’s where we find our light.
