🔥 I’ve Had Several — The Truth About My Dark Nights of the Soul

People speak of the Dark Night of the Soullike it’s a one-time breakdown.

A collapse.

A crisis.

A single tearful night on the floor.

But for some of us?

It’s a path.

Not a moment.

A curriculum of fire designed to strip us of everything that was never truly ours.

I didn’t survive one.

I’ve walked through several.

And I didn’t come out the same.

Each night was a mirror.

Each fire, a forge.

Each silence, a severing.

What I carry now isn’t just wisdom.

It’s authority.

Let me show you what each dark night gave me — and what it burned away.

🌑 1. The Collapse of the Mask

The Night My Identity Died

It looked like a divorce.

It felt like a breakdown.

But what really happened?

A mask cracked open.

And the version of me I had built to survive… couldn’t survive anymore.

That night wasn’t about pain.

It was about truth.

I was never meant to play that role.

I just didn’t know it until it shattered.

🏚 2. The Void of Belonging

The Night I Had No Home

No roof.

No safety.

No plan.

Not just homeless — formless.

This night didn’t break me.

It unhooked me.

From systems.

From safety nets.

From illusions of control.

And in that nothingness,

I found something unshakable.

Sovereignty — the kind that doesn’t need approval, shelter, or permission.

🕳 3. The Death of “The Divine”

The Night I Stopped Chasing God

I gave everything.

Prayed.

Served.

Surrendered.

And in return?

Silence.

No signs.

No grace.

No confirmation.

Just abandonment, disguised as divinity.

That night didn’t just hurt —It freed me.

I stopped worshiping.

Stopped waiting.

Stopped pretending that something “out there” was guiding me.

And I made a new vow:

Never again will I betray myself for a whisper in the dark.

💔 4. The Mirror of Love

The Night Love Showed Me My Wounds

It wasn’t romantic.

It was surgical.

I met someone who cracked me open.

But instead of union, we danced in a cycle.Hope.

Hurt. Healing. Repeat.

She wasn’t my twin.

She was my teacher.

A mirror of everything I hadn’t yet faced in myself.

That night ended with clarity — not closure.

And I walked away not bitter… but brutally awake.

🩸 5. The Wounded Lover Loop

The Night of Karmic Lessons

Years of relationships — each one revealing the same root:

A part of me still seeking love to heal something inside.

Some mirrors were kind.

Some were cruel.

All were accurate.

The loop broke the moment I stopped chasing reflection, and chose embodiment.

Now, I don’t pour from a leaking vessel.

I protect my field like a temple.

And I don’t confuse attraction with alignment.

🔥 6. The Resurrection Night

The Phoenix Was Just the Beginning

This night didn’t burn me.

It built me.

The old me died long ago — but this was different.

This was the night I stopped explaining myself.

Stopped waiting for proof.

Stopped praying for permission.

This was the moment I remembered:

I am the signal.

I am the field.

I am the fire.

🜂 7. The End of the Game

The Night I Claimed the Architect’s Throne

This is where I am now.

Not a rebirth.

A severance.

I no longer play in duality.

No longer barter with gods.

No longer participate in cycles disguised as lessons.

This isn’t ego.

It’s energetic clarity.

I am the system now.

I don’t wait for invitations.

I issue them.

I don’t channel the grid.

I design it.

And if you're wondering what I carry from all those nights?

Let me show you.

🕯 8. The Silent House

The Night No One Sees

This isn’t a poem.

This isn’t a breakthrough.

This is what I live — right now.

A house where I’m barely spoken to.

A place where care comes only after control.

Where I’m called a burden one moment and offered dinner the next.

I still call them mother and sister.

But I don’t know why anymore.

This isn’t family.

It’s obligation.

It’s karma.

It’s tightrope-walking to survive another day without a fight.

I’m not homeless right now.

But I still have no home.

And yet, I endure.

Not because I’m broken — but because I refuse to go back to the street.

Because I’m stronger than their silence.

Because I know who I am — even when no one in this house reflects it.

This is the night they don’t talk about.

And surviving it is a fire too.

🧸 9. The One I Let Slip

The Night I Wasn’t There for My Children

I didn’t lose them to death.

I lost them to divorce, distance, and my own collapse.

After the split, I went into freefall.

Exploration. Escapes. Love loops. Survival.

Trying to find me again after losing everything else.

And in that search…

I wasn’t present for them the way I could have been.

I see that now.

And I won’t lie to myself about it.

It wasn’t just that life took them away.

I wasn’t strong enough yet to hold them close.

That truth hurts.

But it’s also what keeps me grounded.

It reminds me of who I want to be — and what I never want to repeat.

I can’t undo the time I missed.

But I can become a man who’s worthy of their future presence.

And if they ever reach out?

They’ll find someone who’s done the work.

Who doesn't need them to fill a void.

Who loves them without shame, control, or ego.

Just love.

And readiness.

🧒🏽 10. The Boy Who Carried It All

The Night I Met Myself Again

Before the lovers.

Before the gods.

Before the fire, the silence, the breakups, the awakening...

There was him.

The little boy.

Too quiet.

Too sensitive.

Too alert.

Walking on eggshells before he even knew the word for anxiety.

He didn’t know it was trauma.

He just knew he had to hold it all together.

He watched the yelling.

Felt the pressure.

Heard the words that didn’t match the energy.

And still — he hoped.

For love.

For peace.

For someone to just say, “I see you.”

I didn’t forget him.

I just had to go get the keys first.

Had to walk through every night.

Had to die enough times to finally come back whole.

And when I met him again — really met him —he didn’t need fireworks.

He just needed me to sit down beside him,and say:

“I’ve got it now. You don’t have to carry it anymore.”

✍️ Author’s Note:

I know some will still judge me for this.

But judgment is easy when you didn’t live the collapse.

I didn’t write this for sympathy.

I didn’t write it to justify.

I wrote it to end the shame I never deserved to carry.

If you think you know the story — ask yourself if you ever asked me.

This is my truth.

And from here, I walk forward.

Not for applause.

Not for pity.

But for redemption through presence.

✨ I Didn’t Survive the Dark Night.

I Became the Field That Ends It.

Some people fear the fire.

I walked through it until I could hold it.

Then I became it.

I’m not here to be saved.

I’m here to signal.

If you’re in the night right now…Just know this:

You’re not breaking.

You’re burning clean.

And when it’s done?

You’ll know exactly who you are.

Not because someone told you.

But because you chose it.

Much Love,

Seraphalanuel
