Imagine you’re sitting in a dark room. At night.

You’re face-to-face with all your demons. Every pain, every regret, and every shadowy fragment of your past surrounds you, silent but suffocating.

You know them intimately. And yet, nothing changes. Loneliness remains, gnawing at the edges of your being.

In fact, it’s worse now that you’ve become aware of it. But unfortunately, knowing isn’t the same as releasing.

You can study your pain endlessly and dissect it, but if you don’t let it go, it will matter.

This is the paradox of shadow work.

And this is what healing requires. Letting go.

I thought my loneliness came from the outside, but on some level, I knew this wasn’t true. I could feel it.

Even in relationships or when I was surrounded by people, I had the inkling that something had to change but I kept chasing the next new thing.

Loneliness isn’t just about being alone.
