I'm a realist so I don't believe in lies of hope or propaganda designed to pull people into delusional realities about the world ... but even in seeing things how they truly are, there are still positive truths beneath it all and within ourselves to focus on.

There are brighter lights, stronger wills, and deeper souls out in the world. They may not be the loudest voices or the most popular bloggers or have the widest reaching podcasts or the greatest number of followers ... but they exist.

Those who have the darkest intentions and most broken souls often have the loudest voices ... because they are screaming, shouting, barraging the world with all the pain they feel inside constantly. I consider the volume and depth of their negativity to equate to the amount of anguish they must feel every day ...

They feed on everyone else's pain because they need to justify existing in their own. They need to bring people down because they lack the strength to rise up.

I won't speak such nonsense about their being less of them than others or that there is more good than evil or whatever else. I don't see evidence of that and if it were true the world would be a very, very different place and there would be no reason for me to be writing this thread at all.

The world is what it is ... and the people who make up the majority are the ones capable of doing the most damage to billions of people. Pain ... trauma ... anger ... it's all very viral and cyclical.

You only need to destroy the soul of one person to see the ripple effects for GENERATIONS.

The only way to stop the wave of Darkness and anger and negativity is to be a wall against it for yourself and for others. The only way to stop the cycles from continuing to destroy others is to build up your light and your positivity and share it with as many people as possible.

Inspire. Teach. Uplift.

Put your mental, physical, and spiritual health first so you can be strong for those who need you.

@thewebrecluse Say it louder for the people in the back!👏 After living through my own dark night of the soul and coming through the other side, I so get this now. I thought I got it before, but I really get it now. I refuse to repeat my patterns. 🖤
