The Dark Night Of The Soul

You go about life, breathing, working, doing as you were supposed to. And then slowly, a nagging thought that your not happy starts to creep in. You begin to realise that your existing, but not living. Your surrounded by people and things that are supposed to bring you much happiness, but you're unable to feel the joy. Everything that made perfect sense in the past, and the future you planned for yourself, doesn't make any sense in this present moment.

Your not sure you understand what's going on. The ambition you thought was to bring you the ultimate success is now but an abysmal goal in comparison to what your actually seeking. You have so many questions that continue to cause you despair. Everything around you seems to be pointless and your soul yearns to understand what you're supposed to. 

Welcome to the dark night of the soul. 

I never understood why people have to go through so much pain and experience to finally discover happiness. Why they have to be lost first, only to be eventually found. To be so low, that everything around them crumbles - The lowest point in someone's life. The storm. The desperate call for help. The desperate yearn for understanding. Only when you get here, can you learn to understand what happens when the day turns. You understand the meaning of your life, of your happiness, and a chain reaction starts to stir from something that moves within you. 


There is a new sunrise. Then comes the morning. A new day with calm waters. Where you can learn to live with each breath. Where joy and happiness are contained inside of you. Where life has a purpose, relationships have new meanings, love and compassion are what make you one. You then  start to truly live
