## Caption

Rose colored glasses are temporary fixes. Just like Snapchat filters. Finding your way back to yourself requires you to feel ALL the feelings. Especially the hardest and most uncomfortable ones. The thing is, none of us want to feel the darkness, but the darkness is the path to the light. The hard but most important work we do is in the darkness. You don’t have to stay there forever. But when you’re there - you must make the most of it. And that means sitting in it. In the hardship, the yuck, the pain. Processing. Reflecting. Learning. And then letting go. To get to the place of peace, you must travel to and then through the most painful depths of your heart. It is there you’ll find the spark and the path to the light.
There are no short cuts or easy ways out. Only through. Trudge your way. Find the beauty in it. Make friends with it, and it will lose its power. You and your pain are beautiful gifts to the world. Embrace them. Own them. And not only will you find the light. You will become it.
