“We stopped checking for monsters under our bed when we realized they were inside us.” — The Joker
We’ve all got our demons. Some are hidden away in the dark corners of our psychic attic—they feel unreachable, yet they prick and poke now and then, causing us to wonder something about ourselves.
Some are just under the surface, like the waterline of an iceberg. We can see them, but not clearly. Maybe we don’t understand them yet, or perhaps we do; we just don’t know what to do about them.
Others are in our awareness, whether comfortably or uncomfortably, and it’s clear they ask for our attention. But are we skilled enough to take it from there, healthfully navigating through them, gaining invaluable awareness into ourselves?
Ahh, life’s demons. Whether from infancy or last week, they hide under the bed no more.
