Exploring The Self

You stare into the abyss and it stares back at you.

The quote goes something along those lines. Similarly with self-reflection. Except what is staring back at you is yourself. Your shadow self. The part of yourself you avert your eyes from for whatever reason. Fear, shame, guilt, etc.

Though you have to stare into the abyss. For some, longer than others. For some, deeper than others. Though you have to stare into the abyss to find the solution to whatever challenge you are having.

"No one accepts me." Do you accept yourself?

"I just can't let go of them." What part of yourself are you unwilling to let go of?

"I can't do anything right." Is that really true or is that a false narrative fed to you so often that you accepted it as your own?

Look within, be with yourself and get to know yourself. Only then can you find what you are looking for.
