Yin and Yang

Growing up there was always a yin-yang hanging somewhere in my room. Whether it was a necklace, a poster, drawings...it was a part of my life. I liked the symbol although I didn't know its meaning all that well. Yin and Yang are 2 opposing forces who live together in harmony, interconnected to one another, interdependent to one another. Light and dark, fire and water, death and life are all descriptions of such a force. My life I now see as such. My loving, caring,  motherly, side that wants to heal and guide is one force. My temper, angry, vengeful side is the opposite. When I was a drug addict there was no harmony between the two, it was always dark...always. I never could see the light of the happy side. Although my kids were the only thing that pulled me through, they kept me from killing myself as I wanted to do so many times. They were the Yin to my Yang. They helped me see the light when I was lost in the dark. This message is basically saying this.: no matter how bad it is, there is always light somewhere searching for you. Find that light and you will find your peace. If you stay hidden in the dark, how will you ever find your way?
