The Shadow Self

    The reflection of yourself you don't want to see let alone admit exists. It could be your anger which leads you to be destructive. It could be something you feel ashamed by, as you think others will judge you for it. Though you cannot be whole denying a part of yourself. Going about life with only parts of yourself means you're not fully living.

    Though to incorporate your shadow, you must look at yourself. All of yourself. "The good, the bad, the ugly". (Though if it's authentic, there can be beauty in it.) You must acknowledge that it is there. That it is a part of you. Often times after acknowledging it, it seems to shrink. Becoming less of some monster and more a simple aspect. From there you can assign it however it suits your life.
