Exploring the Depths of My Soul

By Jessica Lewis

I’ve always wanted to avoid the depths of my soul. Maybe because I was scared of what I might find. Maybe because I’ve been taught to stay away from dark places. If you go below the surface you never know what you might find. You may unearth something you didn’t know existed or discover something that was there all along. I am in an unfamiliar place in my life right now. I am going though something that I blamed on outside factors and influences. What I’m realizing is that it may be me. I may be the factor hindering my own self. I may be the cause of this unchartered path my life is going down. I am not looking at this time as bad. I am looking at it like a learning opportunity to explore the deepest darkest parts of me that I’m too embarrassed or ashamed to deal with. I am learning me. All of me. The good, the bad and the ugly parts of me. I am no longer standing in fear instead walking in my truth. I am on a new journey and I accept where it’s taking me.
