Society often teaches us to fear darkness.
We are told to hide the difficult parts of ourselves, the emotions that make others uncomfortable, and the experiences that shaped who we are.
But darkness is not always something to fear.
Sometimes it is where growth begins. It is where we learn resilience, strength, and the depth of our own character.
Without darkness, we would never fully appreciate light.
The truth is that both exist within every person. And there is a strange kind of beauty in learning to embrace all of it.
