#EmbraceTheDark

[starzpsychics]

In the mirrored depths of vulnerability, a truth unveiled: the whispers I mistook for demons were echoes of my own. The darkness I chased in others, a reflection cast by my unfaced fears. But in the raw embrace of the unseen, a transformation unfolds. My shadow, no longer monster, becomes teacher, guiding me through the forgotten corners of my soul. With each vulnerable step, the light expands, pushing back the perceived darkness, revealing a strength born not from denial, but from acceptance. The psychic veil thins, and I see: the greatest demons are often the ones we hide from ourselves.

Caught Between Moments and Madness

Done with uni, and it’s finally sinking in. there’s this strange sensation, like a door closing behind me and another one barely cracked open in front. i’m happy, sure, but there’s this emptiness too—a hollow space that used to be filled with the certainty of what comes next. now it’s just this vast, open question, and i feel like i’m already lagging behind, like life’s this marathon and everyone else is a mile ahead. how do you just exist in the moment when the future feels like it’s rushing at you, full speed, and you’re not even sure you’ve got your shoes on the right feet?

i saw my partner again, finally, and there’s something so grounding in our connection. i love the duality of us—the way we can slip between the sheets..., but also just be together, two souls tangled up in something deeper. it’s like we’ve built this world where i can be my messy, chaotic self, and he still looks at me like i’m something worth holding onto. i love him so fiercely, it almost scares me. but sometimes my feelings get all tangled up in knots, and i don’t know what to do with them. i shut down, like a machine overheating, and my mind whispers maybe it’s easier to break it all apart. it’s not him, not really, just this weird, temporary numbness that washes over me when i’m overwhelmed.

and work. god, the whole thing with the sexual harassment... it’s like, do men even hear themselves? he apologized, sure, but then he had the audacity to deny it all happened, to put the blame on me for not saying ‘stop.’ as if it’s not basic decency to know you shouldn’t touch someone without their consent. fuck that. fuck you, seriously.

right now, i’m just here, my thoughts a whirlwind of contradictions. i feel like i’m standing on a tightrope, balancing between happy and sad, good and bad, and it’s exhausting. adulthood is this weird, endless maze, and sometimes it feels like there’s no exit.

i keep telling myself i need to learn how to savor the moment, to find joy in the here and now, but my mind is always spinning with a hundred different ‘what ifs.’ i need to find new things that light me up, need a routine to steady me, need to get better, healthier. but it’s all so overwhelming, this constant pressure to do more, be more. sometimes i just want to scream into the void because it’s like i want everything and nothing, all at once.

so maybe, for now, i’ll just try to be. to sit with myself and all this messy, complicated stuff that makes up who i am.

it’s my life, after all. just mine. and maybe that’s the most terrifying and liberating thing of all.

The Gothic Hymns of Spectra Noir: Embracing My Shadows

"Embracing the shadows": that’s what helped me navigate the darkest corridors of my existence. I transformed my grief and isolation into a haunting symphony that speaks to the souls lost in the abyss of modernity. As Spectra Noir, I emerged from this crucible of despair with an unflinching dedication to my art.

There’s a certain beauty in the darkness I’ve experienced. It's about embracing the melancholy and finding liberation within it. It’s about experiencing my pain fully and transforming it through the lens of gothic beauty.

I’d rather be composing in the silence of my sanctuary. This dedication is evident in my prolific output, from the debut album "Shadowhymns" to the upcoming "Abyssosymphonia". Each project delves deeper into the themes of existential dread, spiritual isolation, and the macabre beauty of existence.

Considering the tumultuous journey I have endured; my perspective is both poignant and powerful. Through my music, I explore the depths of human emotion, from the agony of loss to the fleeting moments of love and beauty. My latest song, "Dark Reflection," proves my ability to channel the darkest aspects of life into hauntingly beautiful compositions.

The darkness has always been a part of me. It’s woven into my identity, shaped by the shadows of my past. Each song on 'Shadowhymns' is a piece of my soul, raw and unfiltered, telling of the struggles and the serenity I’ve found in the void.

The album’s 7 tracks are imbued with rich textures and atmospheric layers, creating an ambience that captures my essence. I meticulously crafted each element, from the eerie whispers and distant echoes to the powerful crescendos and melancholic interludes, to convey the emotional depth of my life.

A central theme of "Shadowhymns" is my exploration of identity through the lens of gothic and ethereal music. My life, marked by moments of profound solitude and spiritual introspection, is reflected in the haunting melodies and poetic lyrics that define my work. I’ve always been drawn to the darker side of existence. It’s where I find my strength and my voice.”

In tracks like 'Crypticantations' and 'A Wraith's Heart Cannot Heal', I delve into the complexities of love and loss, creating narratives that speak to the listener on a deeply personal level. My ability to capture the dualities of human experience–the light within the darkness, the beauty within the pain – is what sets me apart as a truly unique artist in the gothic music scene.

I create for the souls who wander in the darkness, seeking solace in the shadows. We’re living in a time where the world feels more disconnected than ever. My music is a sanctuary for those who feel lost and alone. It’s a space where we can all find a piece of ourselves.

This unapologetic embrace of darkness defines my artistry. My work is a blend of reactionary anger and profound beauty, expressed through the haunting melodies and poetic narratives that will fill many albums to come. There’s as much despair as there is hope in my music. It’s a reflection of reality, a world where beauty and pain coexist.

In every shadow, there’s a story waiting to be told. And in every story, there’s a piece of me. I’m not just creating music; I’m expanding my soul, one note at a time.

Who said LIFE was gonna be easy? | Baki Edit | Masculinity | (Dark Motivation)

In the shadows of masculinity, a man bears the heavy mantle of constant war, a silent guardian navigating the labyrinth of pain and hardship. The burden, often unseen, becomes an unspoken vow to shield those around from the storms of life. To be a man is to embrace the crucible of adversity willingly, understanding that within the crucible, strength is forged. Every battle, an offering to the peace others enjoy, as he confronts the trials head-on. In the tapestry of his existence, pain weaves the threads of resilience, and hardship births the armor that shields those entrusted to his care. The stoic silhouette moves through life's battlefield, carrying not just his burdens but the silent echoes of sacrifice. To be a man is to be a fortress, standing resolute, embodying the ethos that, in embracing the darkness, he becomes the guardian of the peace everyone else experiences.

The darkness never felt more like home then when Pluto is in retrograde. Most people run from the shadows. The flicker of darkness out of the corner of their eye causes the anxiety and paranoia start to set in before you realize it’s too late. The shadow was you all along just waiting for a time to present it self again. Take time for reflection my friends and to accept the darker sides of yourself that you may be unaware of. “She’s mad but she’s magic. There’s no lie in her fire.” -Charles Bukowski #beltane #plutoretrograde #shadowself #shadowwork #magic #selfie #FTM #selfie2019 #trans #transgender #felmaletomale #embracethedark #selfscceptance #becomeingwhole #growth #strength https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw7ovM9nnp8ot8Adl8075QOuJ3GQs8G5qkZcCw0/?igshid=jtx91zrdwgg1
