If Everything Around You Seems Dark, Look Again — You May Be the Light by Adeline Atlas
May 18, 2025
Welcome back to Soul Renovation, I’m Adeline Atlas — 7-times published author.
Darkness doesn’t always mean something’s wrong. Sometimes it means you’re in a space that’s waiting on you to illuminate it. Your presence is the shift. Your energy is the activator. You’re not lost — you’re lit.
“If everything around you seems dark, look again. You may be the light.”
~Rumi
That line? It’s not just poetic — it’s instructional. Because let’s be real: we’ve all had those seasons where everything felt dim. Heavy. Foggy. Where no one checked in. Where opportunities dried up. Where nothing clicked, no matter how hard you tried. And you start thinking: Am I in the wrong place? Am I broken? Did I miss something?
But what if you’re not in darkness because you’re lost — what if you’re in darkness because you’re the light source?
Let that land.
You’re not misplaced.
You’re positioned.
Because some spaces aren’t dark because something’s wrong — they’re dark because the illumination hasn’t arrived yet.
And you? You are that illumination.
You’ve been sent into conversations, industries, families, timelines, and bloodlines — not to fit in, but to light the whole thing up. But that won’t feel good at first. Because light doesn’t always feel welcome in dark rooms. You’ll be misunderstood. You’ll be called intense. You’ll be told you’re “too deep,” “too serious,” “too awake.” But what’s really happening? You’re activating contrast. You’re exposing what people have learned to tolerate. And light will always feel threatening to those who’ve made peace with their shadows.
So if you’re in a room and it feels off…
If you’re in a circle and it feels dim…
If you’re building something and the support is silent…
Don’t assume it means you’re in the wrong story.
Ask yourself: What if I’m the lighthouse?
Because light doesn’t ask permission.
It doesn’t explain itself.
It doesn’t negotiate its wattage.
It just is.
And when you realize that you’re not here to be comforted — you’re here to guide, spark, lead, burn away illusion — everything changes.
You stop waiting for others to affirm your position.
You stop dimming so you don’t blind.
You stop seeking a rescue from the very thing you were sent to shift.
Let me say this:
If you constantly feel like the outsider…
If you keep finding yourself in rooms where no one gets it…
If you keep asking God, “Why do I feel so alone in this?”
It’s not rejection — it’s recognition.
He put the light in you.
You are the disruptor.
The decoder.
The divine flashlight in the system’s attic.
You’re the proof that alignment can exist.
You’re the reminder that love can be pure.
You’re the blueprint for what clarity looks like when everything else is built on confusion.
So no — you’re not crazy. You’re not too much. You’re not being punished.
You’re just bright in a world that normalized dimming.
And the darkness you feel around you?
It’s waiting for you to turn all the way on.
Own it.
Shine it.
Stop seeking the light — be it.
You’re not in the wrong place.
You’re just in the right position — and it’s time to radiate.
