“People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons from within.”
Ursula K Le Guinn
I love this quote and it so perfect for the “highlight reel life” perspective. We can pretend that our lives are perfect, post only the happy pictures and the wins on social media. We can also never talk about our problems and pretend that everything is perfect, and stay POSITIVE. But where there is light, there is dark. If you deny the presence of darkness you will be consumed by your own darkness.
Of course I’m not saying go out and be negative or point out everything that is wrong, but acknowledging the bad is just as important as the good. This human experience isn’t for us to perfect, or get “right” it is for us to live.
To feel it all, the good, the bad and the neutral.
