There comes a time when we have to step out of the dark and fling ourselves into the light. For those of us who love our time in the darkness, there is little doubt that the light might burn at first, but if you stick it out, you will develop a great tan. I would know, as I have spent a great deal of time in the darkness. Perhaps you could even call it a lifestyle I was living. Was it glorious in any way you might be asking? Of course not!
As much as I could advocate a lifestyle of keeping yourself in the dark, the reality would show otherwise with its brutal fact of humanity not existing as vampires. I know, I know, living as an immortal creature of the night sounds like an absolute blast, but call me silly for not thinking that sleeping in a casket is in vogue, or whatever. We have to face up to the facts! Mental health is essential, and taking the measures to escape that bleak state of mind is crucial.
My personal experience has led me to understand why meeting our basic needs is crucial. I might be crazy, but we need to ensure that we have physical contact with others, as it is essential for our social needs. While you are at it, it is essential to surround yourself with people who are not dwelling in the darkness with you. Personally, I find when I am around those who are more positive than myself; I see things from a different perspective. The change in mindset goes a long way to helping see the world in a less pessimistic light.
The idea is to see the world through a balanced perspective, and the extremes to be avoided. When we strike a perfect balance, we find ourselves on a good footing with life.
Despite the possibility of fear haunting you during moments of pure joy, it is crucial to remind yourself constantly that confronting your fears is essential. So, when the desire to isolate for a long time comes along, it is the moment you have to fight back and remind yourself that isolation does little good because when you are in your moment of need you are not quite the right person to call on for help. Others can prove helpful.
I express the above to highlight the difficulty I experience daily. I would like to isolate myself from the rest of the world, but it is far from ideal or healthy. Nothing in the idea of isolating for a long time proves to be for my benefit. After all, I must satisfy my social needs. The other reality that I must face is cruel to someone like me. The reality is that I cannot face, solve, and overcome everything all by myself, even though I would love nothing more. Some messes that I create, I cannot overcome them by myself without the help of others. My last words would be to be a little more positive and step out of the shadows from time to time. After all, you never know how your life might change for the better.
