Don't be afraid of your soul's metamorphosis. A caterpillar in a cocoon knows nothing but utter darkness; their world is upside down and doesn't make sense. Every essence of who they are has turned into mush, until one day they have the strength to push through its shell, soon to realize they are not who they were before. They are leaving the world of darkness as a transformed work of art that could only come from deteriorating isolation. Trust in the Divine's work; the darkness is healing you and painting a masterpiece. Think of all the beautiful butterflies you'll meet on your journey ahead.
Shadow & Starlight, my friends,
