The Feeling That Fades.... and The Light Remained


Dear Reader,

There was a time in my life when I believed I had found something beautiful.

Not in truth… but in feeling.

In my addiction, there were moments—brief, almost sacred—where life felt full, alive, and even peaceful.

For a moment, I thought: “This is it. This is the life I’ve been looking for.”

But it was not real.

Because what followed was always the same:

The come down.

The shaking.

The cold.

The return of hopelessness.

And with it came the truth:

What I thought I had found… I could not hold.

So I chased it again.

Another drink. Another escape. Another attempt to hold onto something that was never meant to last.

The cycle continued:

Hope → Illusion → Collapse → Despair → Repeat

Until one day…

A power greater than anything I knew met me in that darkness.

Not as a feeling.

Not as an illusion.

But as Light.

And I was faced with a choice:

Continue on a path of destruction, insanity, and death…

Or turn toward that Light.

That Light had a name: Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” — John 8:12
