Shadows


There are aspects we share with the world,
But do you know your shadows?
The dark parts of you, that perhaps you'd rather not have, or wish no-one else knew about.
It's okay.  We all have dark sides.  Knowing them is the key.
You don't have to act on them.  But don't deny them.  Don't run from them.  
Nobody is perfect, that's for sure.  
It's okay to be honest about not being perfect.
In fact, it takes more strength to own up to your own weaknesses, than to blame it on someone else.
Don't run from yourself.  Know yourself in all your shades and hues.  And love those parts of you that are not so great.
