After learning about my Shadow, I’ve started to notice how often I try to hide the parts of myself that feel “wrong.” The moments when I get impatient, insecure, or jealous — I used to push those feelings away quickly. I thought that being positive meant not having them at all.
But now I’m beginning to see that those feelings aren’t enemies. They’re just signals. They show me what still hurts, what still needs understanding. The more I deny them, the louder they get. The more I listen, the quieter they become.
Making peace with my Shadow doesn’t happen overnight. It’s not about becoming perfect. It’s about learning to say, “This is also me — and that’s okay.” When I do that, I notice a small shift inside — like I’m becoming a little more whole, a little more honest.
Sometimes, I still feel uncomfortable facing my flaws. But I remind myself that even the kindest people have shadows too. We all do. And maybe what matters most is not hiding from them, but meeting them with gentleness.
Today, I choose to stop running from the parts of me I don’t like.
Instead, I’ll sit with them — slowly, quietly — and remind them that they belong.
