We all have that dark part of ourselves.
It takes courage to look deep inside to see it, feel it and to chose to work to heal it as best as we can.
Some people willingly step into this abyss, others walk slowly towards it with baby steps and still others run away out of fear.
Letting down our defenses and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable with ourselves and then to be able to do it with others is very scary.
If we want to be able to truly connect on an intimate levels with others, it must be done but it is the hardest thing of all to do.
I know because I struggle with this issue constantly.
