This piece reflects the alternating darkness and light in my own life. This section is especially relatable to me: "...endless bitter darkness. They say this is the way we all must walk. That somewhere in the sea of starless night there is something more. Something better. But all I feel is pain. And cold. And dark."

Thank you for sharing this part of yourself. Pretending that everything is always sunshine actually can increase dark feelings. Admitting and accepting them is, I find, much more helpful in dispelling the inevitable darkness that arises in our lives. But light always returns.

Thank you so much for your reflections, Iva, and I'm so glad it meant something to you. Wishing you more bright days than dark ones in your future! 🫶 (And I agree!)
