When things grew worse, it was like a domino effect, with behavioral changes ranging from lone hopping as you parade to a famed locust swarming form.
Some say the blame is owed to the current phase of the moon
I can't disagree but I also know the darkness living within each of us is partly to blame
But the dire circumstances presenting themselves into my life in that moment forced me to become aware that some sort of action must be taken.
Yes, the repeated disasters and demons consistently jumping out at me, constantly threatening to plaque me with their presence has gotten tiring.
The darkness was becoming to be too much and my grip on sanity had started to loosen. This was the pivotal moment that I made a lifelong decision that was the beginning of my great transformation.
Deep into the great and vast depths of my soul, I had to begin a search.
Who was I? ..A question I had to ask myself more than once in this tumultuous lifetime.
On the surface lived a dismal and morose being. A being that a lifetime of wounds and traumas had created. A being that the blackness had consumed the entirety of.
But upon close inspection, just beneath the surface a tiny glint of something more could be found.
Like an onion, many layers made up the diverse creation that I think of myself as.
So the condundrums present in my life at this point pushed me to start digging.
Digging deep into myself. During this process I encountered strange versions of the me that greatly differed and related to the me that I was familiar with. But the thorough examination I had done on myself enabled me to see the work that must be done to rescue the me that I yearned to get back.
I relentlessly bulldozed down the treacherous walls of darkness and at times I must reveal that I grew quite weary.
So much so that I questioned whether I had embarked on a mission that could not be completed. But those thoughts manifested then dissapated just as quick once I was able to confidently convince myself that they were merely illusions brought on by the darkness.
So, perseverance came to be a mighty factor in what soon came to lead me to my victory.
Just as I thought I might lose my way completely, that beautiful glint of light casting in, although only entailing of small slivers, provided insurmountable yet lustrous rays that were bright enough to light my entire path.
Only then did I come to a point where I fully seen the profoundness of who I was and what I had to offer this world.
That was a moment I will surely always remember for it was the moment in which I was finally able to stop merely existing. It was the momentous point in this life of mine that the cloak of darkness completely disappeared and I truly began living.
