Do we run from shadows??
I found myself running from a shadow in the dark of night.
In that moment, I wasn't sure what I was truly running from. I couldn't see its face, I couldn't hear its voice, but I could feel its presence behind me. At first, I thought it might have been a figment of my imagination, just a trick of the mind. But as I continued to sprint down the empty street, I couldn't shake off the feeling that this shadow was following me with malicious intent.
What was even more unsettling was the fact that I couldn't determine if this shadow was merely an external threat or if it was something within me. Was it my own fears and insecurities manifesting into a tangible form? Was it the dark and hidden parts of myself that I had been ignoring for so long, finally catching up to me in the dead of night? The uncertainty of the situation only added to my panic and confusion.
I was too consumed by my fear to turn around and face the source of my terror. I just kept running, hoping to outrun whatever was chasing me. But as I reflect on it now, I realize that I never took a second to stop and confront the shadow. I never stopped to see if it was truly a monster or if it was just a reflection of my own inner demons.
Looking back, I realize that sometimes we are our own worst enemies. We let our fears and insecurities control us, and we end up running from shadows that may not even be real. Once we dare to turn around and face them, we may find that they were never as scary as we thought. And sometimes, the biggest shadows we run from are the ones we create ourselves.
I need to take a step back, get my life in order, and stop running from the messes I make.
