September was difficult for me. I spent the bulk of the month crying. And October did not start in a good way too. I found myself groping for light in overwhelming darkness. Tomorrow, I clock 24 and in this issue, I talk about how my friends and family kept the light on for me during those dark days.
Happy birthday! Thank you for sharing this. Funny how I struggled to keep the lights on throughout last month and a large part of this month. I remember describing the experience to a friend this way ‘I feel myself drowning and I am barely struggling to keep my head above the water’ and yet I couldn’t even tell what exactly was going on. I basically functioned as a robot disconnected from itself.
This did not come to me by chance. Fighting the darkness is hard. Really hard. Especially when people question your darkness like it's nothing and you fight it almost alone. But seeing the lights come on for others, gives hope that one day, it would be all okay, and my light would come on even if it's just a flicker.
This is a beautiful read. I'm glad to come across it. Happy Birthday in arrears. May the light stay💛
Hey Michael,

I cried reading this.
Not only because it was beautiful, but it was definitely the light I needed on this morning.
Some days we wake up and desperately need a straw to cling to because it feels like we're falling down an bottomless pit.
So we need something, anything to remind us that "oh, maybe you can get through today after all".
This was it for me.
Totally drove the dark clouds hanging over my head this morning.
God bless you Micheal.
Sending you love and a lot of light!
❤️✨
