Shining a Light

    I used to think that Anger was powerful and could drive you to accomplish great things. I used to think that it was energizing and helpful. But now I feel I am only seeing the destructive side of anger. What it can do to people and to dreams. 

    But the best way to fight the destructive sides of anger and recrimination is to shine your light. Everything that is brought into the light becomes a light. I need to shine light. I need positive change. Anger is not enough. Anger can motivate change, but I need to take it in the right direction. Revenge or destructive action will not help me. Meeting threats with tragedy does not help me. 

    I need to create a positive. By making the truth and righteousness in me so impossibly and undeniably obvious. By forcing people to see the good, the lies will die. I will rise above only by showing people in such an obvious and undeniable way that I am a force for good and by cutting out the toxic people. I need to be that change, that strength, that light. I need to shine so brightly that the darkness has nowhere to run to. If I can find a way to do that. If I can find the strength and the means and the will to shine that light so blinding that people can't help but see, then I won't have to worry about the dark and the lies.

    I need to get my physical strength back first, then I need to find a way to shine that light. So bright, so clear, so strong that the darkness has nowhere to hide.
