🌑 ⋯ “We are not so different, you and I. Your fangs and my claws are born of the same suffering - so why have we fought? I understand you now; we aren’t enemies, for the pain we share has made us friends.” ⋯ 🌕

Growing up and even still, I had some of the worst nightmares imaginable, and I remember them vividly. However, as I got older and my emotional vocabulary grew, these once frightening monsters began to make sense, and shrank til they were much less intimidating - eventually, I’d offer to be their friend and help patch them up.

This piece is that point of acceptance. Embracing the inner demons that are just our broken selves that need a friend.
