This is the quiet, devastating realization that the enemy might not be someone else, it might be the version of ourselves we've ignored, denied, or let fester. It’s looking in the mirror and recognizing the shadow in our own eyes. It’s the humbling truth that we, too, are capable of destruction, Of cruelty, Of self-sabotage.
But it’s also the beginning of something deeper. Because only when we stop projecting our demons onto the world and start confronting them within ourselves can we truly fight them. Not with swords or blame but with honesty, grace, and a willingness to change.
To see the demon is painful. To admit it lives within is brave. But to rise above it, that is where the real transformation begins.
