I wish more people understood that you don't fight your demons, you talk with them.

Whoever invented the phrase "fighting my demons" did us all a disservice by simply not understanding the basics of shadow work.

Here's the thing: These so-called demons are not here to destroy you; they are here to be understood by you.

That's it. That's where the healing happens: when you no longer feel the need to run away and finally listen.

Remember: What is understood cannot be feared.
