Shadows and shine

It’s hard to shine.

Not because you don’t want to. Not because you weren’t inherently born for something beautifully unique yet mundane. Rather because you have been living in shadows for so long you have forgotten how to open your eyes.

Dark corners and blurred edges line your life. And now crisp clarity threatens.

It hurts.

When the light comes, it’s uncomfortable. Blinding. Paralyzing.

So why shine?

Shadows bring just as much pain as shine does.
