Very true! I find myself saying that so often via appreciating the light and it’s a common concept in my writing. I just need to remember it even harder in moments like these. :D Muchly agreed and thank you. I say these things so often myself but saying them to one’s self doesn’t always do the trick. Sometimes we need to hear it from a good friend too. Thank you.

as for worry, it’s so easy to say, but… don’t do it. ;-) simply don’t. it only ever encourages more, breeds more, creates and infects more. and it never does anything to help. seriously. basically, with anything you find yourself worrying about, immediately ask yourself if it’s something you can change. if you can, then change it. if you can’t, then let it go until you can. the rest will just simply short circuit your brain.

as for darkness in general, if we didn’t have any, i don’t think we would appreciate the light so much. it keeps us alive and trying for better, for ourselves and others. i used to embrace my darker impulses because i didn’t feel worthy of anything good. then i still felt the same about myself, but believed that others deserved better than my darkness, so i either had to keep everything to myself or share with others but not be so dark. now i use my darker twists when i need to, when it helps a little, but these are few and far between as i’m learning more and more each day that a little light is still far, far stronger than a wealth of dark.

:-D
