The Duality of My Darkness and Light
Now, don’t get me wrong —
we all have a darkness.
We’ve all walked through that shadowy phase —
the manipulation era,
the envy era,
the jealousy era.
We’ve all been there.
I’ve been there.
I’ve lived it.
And I’ve faced the consequences of my actions during that time.
So don’t think for one second that I haven’t stood in that low vibration myself.
Those dark moments taught me something powerful —
they showed me exactly what I don’t want to live in again.
They were the contrast that gave birth to my clarity.
Of course, there will always be people from the past
who remember that version of me —
the one who was still learning,
still fighting,
still surviving.
And that’s okay.
I honestly don’t give a damn about that anymore.
What I’m realizing now is this:
your dark era in a low vibration
and your dark era in a high vibration
are two completely different energies.
Because right now —
I’m walking in my villain era.
But it’s not from bitterness.
It’s from power.
It’s from awareness.
It’s from standing fully in who I am.
I can walk on any stage and say,
“Yes, I did that. Yes, that was me.”
Because no one can ever hold my past against me.
And yes — I have a past.
A real one.
Not something I hide behind or deny.
My past came from survival,
from fear,
from making choices in the vibration I was living in at the time.
But that’s not where I am anymore.
I’ve walked through darkness.
I’ve reached the light.
And now, I exist in both —
balanced.
Aligned.
Whole.
Because true power isn’t pretending you were never broken.
It’s owning every piece of your story —
the high and the low,
the light and the dark —
and realizing they all shaped the masterpiece you’ve become.
So yeah, I’m in my villain era —
but it’s a higher vibration kind of villain.
It’s grounded in peace,
in humility,
in genuine authenticity.
I’m just here in my isolation,
observing it all,
feeling energy move through my space —
shifting, recalibrating, awakening.
And I can feel it deep in my apartment tonight:
something new is being born in me.
A truth.
A balance.
