[Daily Journal] We Can't Shine Without The Dark
In the dark we may be afraid. But is there absolutely no light there?
Our own thoughts are very evil. As much as possible our minds only want us to see darkness, without light. We think more about fear, but if we fight that feeling, it turns out that it's not as bad as we thought at first.
When we are in a period full of pain, trials, very down, maybe we feel our life will really end. In fact, when we open our eyes the next day, we don't know what we want to do because everything will feel in vain, there is no darkness that ends with light. Overall just dark.
Have you ever been in those times, when there was a lot of motivation given by other people, but your mind immediately rejected it by saying, "it's all impossible."
Whatever phases of life we've been through, it's never been easy. Even at the top, it has even more dire challenges.
Through this writing, to remind me that when I am in dark times, it is not the end of everything. It is a new beginning if we don't give up. And one more thing, we just need to believe, even if we believe there is only a little light, that's okay.
Like going through a long, dark, and damp tunnel, it's not easy to keep going or even when you have to limp because you're exhausted. But one thing, only people who believe there is a better life ahead, who in the end want to go through the tunnel and succeed.
If we just want to feel completely in the light, to feel happy all the time, then that is a mistake. Because only with dark, we will succeed to look shiny. From our process to light that is so dark full of pain, that is what shapes us to look meaningful.
If you feel there is no meaning today, there are only gloomy times around you even within you, don't give up on the process of bringing out the light within you, finding that light. We all have light, it's just that more often than not the thought hides it so we struggle to find it. Because what is in you is very valuable.
I hope you can find what you deserve to find today. Have a great day, good people, HIVE Lovers!

The contrasts of our existence: black and white, good and bad, up and down, success and failure, darkness and light. Is this normal? Yes, there's no such thing as life when these events won't happen. They're just the way they are. And until we learn to accept them, we would not evolve. Thank you for the beautiful insights @anggreklestari. 😊
yeah we just need to accept them right 😊
I’m glad I’m writing here. Hey, have. a great day :)
Great insight, sis. Love this words:
Thanks for sharing ❤️
thank you sis ❤️
So relatable. I've found it difficult to accept compliments by making up excuses not to agree with the one giving the compliments and am working on changing my perspective whenever I catch myself doing it. I don't know why, but most brains are hardwired to focus on the negatives psychology has shown, so we need to re-wire our brains.
that’s why we have always restart the way our thinking :)
Having new strategies for our mindset.
I hope you have a great day :)
True and by self-reflection recognizing how we can eliminate the negatives.
Enjoy your weekend! 💙
Enjoy your weekend too dear ❤️🌸
Darkness they say is temporary, we always find a light either from a friend, family or from a stranger. 💖
The universe never let us to be alone for sure :)
Indeed and I am glad that every person in my life serves as a light. 🥰
"Without shadow there is no light", so says a beautiful song. Darkness is necessary, because it allows us, through contrast, to understand how bright we can be. Life is just that, a coming and going, a coming and going, it is up to us to take advantage and enjoy the good moments and learn and strengthen ourselves with the bad situations and also overcome them. Very beautiful your writing. Best regards.
Indeed we should enjoy the good moment. live by now ❤️ Thanks for supporting my post
Yes sometimes that happened in our life, sis.. but when we survive and struggle, all could be well passed. Keep strong and motivated!
Just be patient and keep stronger 🌸🌸🌸
Yes :)
Very inspiring. Just what I needed for today. We need to share more of our thoughts and emotions in this platform because I'm pretty sure a lot of us can resonate with it and it could inspire us to be better versions of ourselves! Great post @anggreklestari
You know sometimes I have no confidence to write about this. Sometimes I feel like no people want to read my writing with this style.
But now I tried my best to consistently writing like this. That’s why I called with Daily Journal. I’m so happy you made comment like this. Really appreciated
I feel like the platform needs to have more articles like this. At the end of the day we are not just bloggers. We are writers. We are responsible in writing our thoughts, our emotions and its something worthy to share because we never know that anyone is actually in need to see and read that. Often times, i question myself if I should publish this article or not but I'm happyI did because it resonates to a lot of people. You should definitely keep going and sharing your journal here.
So cute
You are looking very smart and I am also agreed with your writing. Thank you for sharing.
Darkness is also a part of our life and without darkness we can't evaluate the shine.
Glad you like my writing. Thank you for stopping by
I hope you have a great day 😊
