#shadow thoughts

[newgirldark]

"Today I rediscover that my soul walks among shadows only a few dare to see. In darkness, I find peace; in silence, I find my voice. I am not fragile, though I may seem so; within me lives a strength that feeds on what is hidden, on what others fear to face. My heart beats differently: it does not seek brightness, but truth, even if it wounds. Perhaps I am a mystery even to myself, yet I would rather be that than an empty reflection."

Shadow can’t die, not really.

He’s immortal, an experiment he was built from the ground up. He was made to be a cure, to outlive everything and everyone. To be invulnerable.

He can’t die 

When all is gone thousand of years into the future, what will happen? He’ll have nothing left, everything will be gone but him. Maybe a way to die would be to undo everything. 

Take apart his body and mind, unmake him by the atoms, unmake what was made. Separate the consciousness from the body, separate what made him alive. But where would you put what you unmade? He would still be there, because you broke something doesn’t make it gone. you still have the parts that made it together, that held him up and made him a being. He would still be there, a lingering sense of what he used to be, who he used to be. 

Or maybe not, maybe he is gone, separating them you might be killing him, stripping him of what made him himself. But he’s still there, or maybe not, after all you might’ve taken him apart but if you put it back together, is it the same?

He’s not the same mobian that met Maria,

He’s not the same mobian who fought with Sonic,

He’s not the same mobian that fought black doom,

That fought to choose for himself, and not what others told him was him,

Choose to make something of himself,

Chose to be, 

Chose to live.

May be the same pieces but they were still pulled apart, they were still undone, they were put back together yes. But that doesn’t change the fact they are not where they used to be, they don’t have the same connection or maybe even the same place. 

That may look like shadow, and think like him, have the same memories as him, but is it him? 

Or maybe it is, after all it is the same pieces when you pull him apart it’s still the same guy, that’s still him, he didn’t pass, he has the same parts same consciousness.

He still, there. He’s unmade, not dealing with what was, he’s gone but that’s not mercy, that’s not death. He’s gone, but not really. He still didn’t pass.

If there is an afterlife he wouldn’t join it, he can’t, he didn’t pass, he was unmade, torn apart by the seams, he was unbuilt, separated, but he didn’t die. 

Maybe the closest thing would be stasis but that’s not death either, that’s more like a sleep, a deep sleep. He’s not conscious but he is awake, that’s not death, time is moving, he is not, but he’s not DEAD.

In all of these versions he would still be awake, and after that he would be alone, he would never have what he used to have, he would never have the life he fought for, the friends he fought for. He would be alive but not really he wouldn’t be living, maybe he would just be awake, a consciousness of what he was, can be, an is. But he’s still alone.

Maybe that’s how he was always meant to be, 

Alone.

Awake.

Alrighty I have to say just based on this promo post I already like the updated Paints because the headset for the gen 3 AQHs is a western pleasure show head set which is NOT natural at all (that is a separate tirade) I just really hope there’s one kinda similar to Joker since he’s a registered Paint horse (I’ve got his papers and everything)

Shadow work is more than acknowledging the things lost in childhood. Shadow work hurts. Shadow work demonstrates to you the various ways that your soul is wounded, as well as how you are wounding others. It is about going into yourself, finding the pain caused to us directly along with the ancestral pain we have experienced or inflicted. Shadow work is not meant to be the only focus; there is the light work that helps to see how we can heal and benefit ourselves and those around us. However, this light cannot be seen until the shadow is uncovered. If all we see is the light in front of us, we are blinded to the darkness around and behind us. Be prepared to discover things within yourself that you were never prepared to see. Understand that confusion between the conscious and unconscious is a given, and shadow work is a constant process. You will never know, all at once, every inch of your broken self.
