The Dark Passenger

I really have a penchant for the TV series, Dexter. 

I relate to him.
No, not in a homicidal way. 

Promise. 

What I relate to is his concept of what he calls his “dark passenger.”
My dark passenger is my negative self-talk.
My evil twin.
My wicked wolf.
And when she's driving, I feel sad, half sick with fear.
When we accept our dark passenger, we can deal with it.
Let's not be ashamed of our dark passenger. 

Let's acknowledge it.

But let's commit ourselves to not letting it win.
Just for today.
